the Process
How does the couture process work?
Exploration and Collaboration
Your preferences and specifications merge with designer Madison Leiren’s creative expertise. We collaborate to understand your vision and how we best bring it to life through our process while offering feedback based in tenure of experience. Madison Leiren sketches your desired details- from the silhouette down to the finest sparkling rhinestones.
Artistry in Craftsmanship
With the design conceptualized, your unique curves are measured, and we create patterns for your look based on them. We stitch together your custom design just how you envision it, and to your unique specifications in the fabrics you’ve chosen and in details that make it your own.
Crafting Perfection
Fittings are conducted when the gown is assembled to ensure the final adjustments create the perfect fit. Your custom design is complete, and for your big day.
