Custom Design

Your Vision. Sheryl's Hands. One Gown.

Every bride deserves a gown that was made for her — not just altered to fit. Sheryl Giles has spent decades perfecting the art of couture co-design: a deeply personal process where your dream becomes a wearable work of art.

The Process

How It Works

Dream Session

We begin with a private consultation — just you and Sheryl. Bring inspiration photos, fabric swatches, or simply a feeling. No idea is too big or too vague.

Design Sketch

Sheryl translates your vision into a hand-drawn design sketch, incorporating silhouette, fabric, lace, embellishment, and structural details unique to your body.

Fabric & Lace Selection

Choose from our curated collection of imported silks, mikado, crepe, organza, and Chantilly laces. Every element is selected together, in person.

Fittings & Refinement

Multiple fittings ensure every seam, dart, and detail is perfected. Alterations are included throughout the custom process — this gown is built for you alone.

Final Reveal

Your finished gown is pressed, steamed, and presented in a private reveal appointment. This is the moment everything comes together.

Fully Bespoke

Every pattern is drafted from your measurements. No off-the-rack sizing — your gown is built from scratch.

Expert Alterations

Unlimited fittings throughout the process. Sheryl's 30+ years of alteration expertise ensures a flawless fit.
