Why Customising a 2-Piece Gown Is the Smartest Bridal Move in 2025

What if your wedding gown was made just for you—down to the last pleat, puff, or pearl? A customised 2-piece wedding gown gives you exactly that, without the $2K–$3K price tag most studios charge.

When Nicole came to Afterpartybride, she had a vision: a gown that reflected her bold yet romantic style, something light enough to take to her destination shoot in Italy, but grand enough to impress her in-laws. Off-the-rack options felt close—but not quite her. Together, we designed a custom 2-piece: a structured mini paired with a soft pleated skirt, tailored to her proportions and preferences. She wore the full look for her solemnisation, then switched into the mini for her sunset portraits. The best part? She got to keep it—and now plans to rewear the mini for her anniversary.

Most bridal studios charge upwards of $2,000–$3,000 for a custom gown, with long lead times and limited flexibility. At Afterpartybride, our bespoke 2-piece gowns start from under $1,000 for rental and are also available for custom keep or replicate. Whether you want to rent, own, or re-create the look later, we’ve built options around your budget and goals. Each gown is crafted from scratch, fitted to your body, and designed to suit your shoot, event, or overseas travel plans.

We’re not just a rental studio. We’re a full experience. Our gowns are handmade with love and shaped from your ideas—not mass factory samples. Every 2-piece gown we craft is light enough for travel, elegant enough for formal wear, and versatile enough to wear again. You can choose to rent for 7 to 14 days, commission a made-to-keep gown, or replicate a look you fell in love with online. We’re one of the few studios offering custom minis with detachable skirts at accessible prices, without compromising style or fit.
