The Couture Process
Every aspect of the design process at J.ANDREATTA is crafted with meticulous attention to detail at the atelier in Surry Hills, Sydney.
This five stage fitting process allows you to influence the silhouette, select luxurious fabrics & embellishments, all while witnessing the artistry of couture come to life.
From concept to creation, the art of couture is crafted with intention at every moment.
STEP ONE: Design
Your journey begins with an exclusive and intimate design appointment with Jessica Andreatta herself, where your personal vision for your wedding gown is brought to life. During this bespoke consultation, Jessica will immerse herself in understanding your unique style, the ambiance of your wedding, and the intricate details that matter most to you.
Through a thoughtful dialogue, she will gather insights and ideas, ensuring that your gown reflects both your essence and the magic of the occasion. Following this, you will be invited to try on a curated selection of gowns, allowing Jessica to explore fabric choices and silhouettes that align with your desires. Once she has captured the essence of your dream gown, Jessica will sketch a custom design that is uniquely yours.
STEP TWO: Measurements
Approximately 10 to 12 months before your wedding, you will return to the atelier, where you will be carefully measured by Jessica’s team of skilled couturiers. These exacting measurements are essential to ensure the perfect fit, as each detail is refined with unparalleled precision to sculpt your gown to your body.
STEP THREE: Toile
Next, your gown will begin to take shape in the form of a ‘Toile’—a prototype crafted in a mock fabric that mirrors the fit and structure of the final garment. At this stage, Jessica and her expert team will assess the design, making subtle adjustments to guarantee that every curve and detail is flawlessly aligned with your body. This is the perfect moment for any adjustments to the design, ensuring that your gown is as exquisite and personalized as possible.
STEP FOUR: The Real Gown
With your fitting perfected, the gown is now constructed in the fabric of your choice, whether it’s the finest silk, satin, or lace. The design is now fully realized, and at this stage, you can discuss the addition of luxurious embellishments, delicate trims, or lace appliqué to further elevate your gown. Our team will also explore accessory options with you, including veils, headpieces, and other finishing touches that will complete your bridal look.
STEP FIVE: Styling
As your gown nears completion, we focus on the final styling details. Additional elements are added, ensuring the gown is the perfect reflection of your taste and style. Our in-house stylist will guide you through the final steps—marking and finishing the back closure to achieve an impeccable fit. You are invited to bring your chosen jewelry and accessories, allowing us to offer expert advice and ensure that your entire bridal ensemble is everything you envisioned.
Collection Day
The long-anticipated day arrives: your gown is ready. The final fitting will ensure every detail is perfected, from the drape of the fabric to the delicate stitching. Our couture team will perform a final cross-check to ensure the gown fits you like a dream, allowing you to walk down the aisle with poise and confidence.
On this momentous occasion, you will feel the most beautiful you’ve ever felt.
A journey defined by artistry, precision, and intimacy. Your couture gown awaits, crafted exclusively for you.
