Ordering a made-to-order Wedding Dress

All visits to our Los Angeles & New York atelier are by appointment, allowing us to offer each bride a private, one-on-one experience.

BEFORE YOUR VISIT

Once your appointment is scheduled, a member of our team will reach out to learn more about you, your wedding, and what you are envisioning. We encourage you to make a wishlist of your favorites dress.This allows us to thoughtfully prepare for your appointment.

FIRST APPOINTMENT

Begin by exploring the collection and sharing your favorites to try on. Your stylist will guide you through the gowns, listening closely to what you love, suggesting new possibilities, and helping you refine your vision. We’ll also style your look with veils and accessories so you can truly see it all come together.

We recommend visiting 8–12 months before your wedding, though shorter timelines may be accommodated.

FINDING YOUR GOWN

Many brides find their gown during their first appointment, while others return for a second visit. When you’ve found your gown, we’ll take your measurements and place your order.

CREATING YOUR GOWN

Each gown is made to order in our Los Angeles atelier using the finest laces, embroideries, and silks. Every detail is carefully considered, resulting in a gown that feels as special as the moment it was chosen.

FIRST FITTING

Your gown will be ready for your first fitting approximately 2–3 months before your wedding. At this stage, we begin tailoring the fit to you.

ALTERATIONS

Your alterations are completed in-house by our expert team, ensuring a seamless process from your first to final fittings. Typically, two to three fittings are all that is needed to perfect the fit, with each detail carefully refined so your gown feels just right for your wedding day.

We can’t wait to welcome you as a Claire Pettibone bride.

When should I begin shopping for my gown?

We recommend beginning your search 9–12 months before your wedding to allow time for production and alterations. Because our gowns are made in-house, we are often able to accommodate shorter timelines. Simply share your wedding date, and we will guide you through the options available.

Yes. Alterations are completed in-house by our expert team, ensuring a seamless understanding of the design, fit, and craftsmanship of your gown.
