Our selection of Haberdashery includes everything required for adding a special finishing touch to a one of a kind bridal gown. Being commissioned to design and construct a beautiful, couture bridal gown is every dressmakers dream and will entail many painstaking hours of sketching, pinning and stitching. The construction of a custom made gown is a labour of love for both the commissioned seamstress and the bride to be with the desired result being a show stopping gown which will make the bride feel like a princess on the most special day of her life. An experienced seamstress will make the job look so straight forward and easy that most people simply do not realise the hours of sheer hard work, stress and late nights that often go into constructing a bridal gown.
A dressmaker not only has to carefully consider their selection of fabric; the hidden Haberdashery items are just as important as the material in achieving the desired shape and structure of a wedding dress. One of the most frequently used Haberdashery items by seamstresses creating couture bridal gowns is boning. Boning is imperative for creating the desired list and shape and is particularly useful in the construction of strapless designs and ensuring the correct type and placement of boning is crucial. A gown with the incorrect placement of boning will result in a design that will never sit right and will not provide the desired level of internal support for the wearer on her big day. No bride wants to spend the duration of their wedding day tugging at her dress to hold it up! For creating cinched in designs, dressmakers will most frequently choose petersham. This particular type of boning is used to create an hourglass shape and is popular on designs constructed from layers of fabric such as tulle.
