Theodora

From $7,200· made to your measurements

Built to change halfway through the evening: a draped bodice, a slit to the thigh, and an outer skirt that lifts away to leave a narrow column. One dress, two silhouettes, and no second gown to pay for.

A transformative bridal gown with a structured foundation and detachable elements. The design can evolve throughout the wedding day, moving from a formal ceremony silhouette to a more streamlined look for dinner and dancing.

Start with Theodora

Takes you to a four-question brief with this model already attached. Visualisations are Aleksandra's own design drawings; your dress is cut for your body, in the fabric you choose.

How your Theodora would be made

Nothing here is pulled off a rail. Choosing Theodora starts the work: a pattern drafted from twelve of your measurements, then a toile in cheap cloth to check the shape before the silk mikado with overlay is cut. Fittings happen at the Tampa studio, or on camera if you are anywhere else. This one takes about 48 hours in the studio, spread over five to six months.

Fabric moves the price more than anything else, so swatches go out to you before a single piece is cut. The base skirt, overskirt volume and train length can be customized.
