I Wanted a Gown That Felt Like Me — Not Just Another Trendy Dress

Every bride wants to feel beautiful on her big day — but for some of us, beauty means more than lace and sparkle. It’s about wearing something that reflects who we are. That’s exactly why I decided to customise my wedding gown in Singapore — and chose Afterpartybride to make it happen.

Why I Chose a Bespoke Gown

I had tried on several off-the-rack gowns at different bridal shops in Singapore, but nothing felt quite right. The fit was okay, but the designs didn’t speak to me. I wanted a silhouette that flattered my body type, a modern twist on bridalwear, and most importantly — something original. That’s when I discovered Afterpartybride’s bespoke wedding gowns in Singapore, and everything changed.

The Bespoke Process, Step-by-Step

1. Consultation & Inspiration GatheringWe started with a one-on-one session at their studio. I shared photos, Pinterest boards, and thoughts on what I liked — structured bodices, puff sleeves, and clean lines. The designer helped translate that into an actual gown concept while suggesting what fabrics and silhouettes worked best for me.

2. Mock-up & Base FittingWhat really impressed me was their gown making process. I was given a base mock-up to try — so I could physically see and feel the early shape of my gown before it was made. This step gave me so much peace of mind and control.

3. Crafting the GownFrom there, the gown craft began. Layers were built, textures refined, and details hand-finished by their in-house team. Every step was explained to me, and I had fittings scheduled at key milestones.

4. Final Fitting & PickupAfter 4.5 months, my gown was ready. It was everything I had hoped for — structured, elegant, and unlike anything I’d seen on other brides.

How Long It Took to Make the Gown

The total time taken to make my gown was just under 5 months. Afterpartybride recommends at least a 5-month lead time for bespoke gowns, especially if you want something more complex like pleats, layers, or embroidery. They also offer express options for brides with shorter timelines, but that depends on availability.

How Much It Cost

Afterpartybride’s custom wedding gowns in Singapore range from $1,680 to $4,880, depending on the length, design complexity, fabric choice, and timeline. The price includes everything — fabric, labour, structured fittings, alterations, and even one-time dry cleaning. And yes — the gown is for rent by default, which made it a sustainable and value-for-money choice.

Final Thoughts

Customising my wedding gown at Afterpartybride was one of the best decisions I made. I didn’t just get a dress — I got a personal experience, expert support, and a piece that felt like me. If you're a bride who wants to feel truly special, I highly recommend going bespoke. You’ll never look back.
