Verena

From $5,000· made to your measurements

The quietest dress here and the hardest to make: silk cut on the bias, narrow straps, and a bodice seamed to hold its own shape without lining you can feel. It photographs as though nothing at all is holding it up.

A fitted bridal gown with a clean, elongated silhouette. The internal structure shapes and supports the figure, while the long skirt follows the natural lines of the body. A restrained design centered around precise fit and proportion.

Start with Verena

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 Verena would be made

Nothing here is pulled off a rail. Choosing Verena starts the work: a pattern drafted from twelve of your measurements, then a toile in cheap cloth to check the shape before the silk is cut. Fittings happen at the Tampa studio, or on camera if you are anywhere else. This one takes about 24 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. Train length can be customized. Sleeves or a detachable upper layer may also be added.
