Custom Wedding Dress – Bespoke Bridal Gowns
Your wedding dress should be something truly special — designed for you, made to fit you perfectly, and unlike anything else.
At The Life of O’Reilly, I design and create custom made-to-measure wedding dresses from my Liverpool boutique. Whether you have a clear vision, inspiration photos, or would like help designing your dream dress, I can create a bespoke bridal gown tailored completely to you.
Each dress is handmade from scratch using your measurements, chosen fabrics and design details, creating a one-of-a-kind wedding dress made just for you.
From simple satin bridal dresses to corset gowns, lace dresses, full skirts, trains, overskirts and reception dresses, each gown is designed around your style and your wedding.
The Custom Bridal Process
Once your custom listing is purchased, we will discuss your design ideas, fabrics and measurements. I will then create a design plan and quote before beginning your dress. All dresses are handmade in Liverpool and shipped worldwide.
Pricing
Every bespoke wedding dress is individually quoted according to its silhouette, construction, fabric and level of hand-finishing.
Bespoke bridal gowns start from £1,500, with most full-length designs falling between £1,800 and £2,800. Highly intricate couture designs featuring structured corsetry, premium lace, overskirts or extensive hand embellishment may fall above this range.
Once your wedding date and initial estimated price have been agreed, a £500 non-refundable booking deposit secures your place in the bridal order book and begins the bespoke consultation and design process. This is deducted from the total cost of your gown, with the remaining balance divided into stages.
Your final price will be confirmed after your consultation and fabric selection, before production begins. Any later changes to the agreed design will be discussed and quoted separately.
When to Book
Bespoke bridal commissions should ideally be booked 9–12 months before the wedding date. A minimum of six months is usually required for a full-length wedding gown, while particularly intricate or heavily embellished designs may require longer.
Your consultation, fabric sourcing, measurements, production and fitting will be carefully scheduled around your wedding date. Shorter timelines may occasionally be considered depending on availability and could be subject to a priority fee.
