We are in the middle of production for our Anglo Couture Spring 2011 collection.
I'm just so excited to work on it, that I felt like sharing the process. First, our team sorts though all the ideas and designs....It may sound easy but this could be a stress full process, as the collection needs to flow and look good together.
Usually I like a theme behind each collection, something that our brides can identify with.
When all the final designs are picked out, we work on the illustrations. The illustrations need to be a map that guides in the making of the correct pattern and fabric selection.After that, we get samples in from our suppliers to make sure the appropriate fabrics and trims are used to ensure that the gown is made to perfection.
Pattern making can be tricky, as we need to ensure that it results in perfect fit and it is consistent with the gown design.
Cutting the gown is a crucial detail. The correct cutting ensures, the correct assembly of the gown.
That is the reason I'm very strick out cutting every dress one by one. The wedding gown looks like a puzzle after is cut.
After that our talented seamstresses put it together.
So there you have it the wedding gown is complete!!
For the Anglo Couture Spring 2011 collection, we will use all our classic fabrics like, the silk duchess and chiffon and also introduce new fabrics like, crinkled silk chiffon and silk crepe back satin. The trims and laces are just magnificent this season, gorgeous Alencon lace and metallic vintage trims.
I Can't wait to share it with all of you soon:)
