Free dress designer
Choose each part of the dress below and watch your design come together. It is free to use and needs no account. When it looks right, send it to us with a photo or sketch if you have one, and we reply with a written quote to make it to your measurements.
InspirationQuick answer
Design your own dress here in seven steps: neckline, sleeves, length, skirt shape, embroidery, extras and your size. The Gilded Seam then stitches it to your measurements in Pakistan and delivers it to the UK or anywhere else. Using the designer is free, and there is no commitment until you approve your written quote.
Seven steps
Tap a choice to select it, and tap it again to clear it. Your design is only sent when you press a button.
How it works
01
Work through the seven steps. Pick Advise me for anything you are unsure about and we suggest what suits the design.
02
Press Send this design. The quote form opens with your choices already written in, and you can attach a photo, a screenshot or a sketch.
03
We read your design, ask about anything unclear, and write the fabric, measurements and every detail into one quote.
04
Once you approve and pay, we make the dress in 5 to 7 working days and courier it to you. Delivery and import charges are already in the quote.
Many dress designers online stop at a drawing, and nothing happens next. This one is the first step of a real order. Every option is something we stitch, from a band collar to a tiered skirt, so the dress you build is a dress we can make.
It costs nothing to use and you can come back to it as often as you like. The only thing that needs a decision from you is the quote at the end, and you are not committed to anything until you approve it.
If you already have a picture, use the designer to fill the gaps it does not show, such as the back, the sleeve length or the lining, then attach the picture on the quote form. A screenshot from a shop, a photo of a dress you own or a drawing on paper all work.
We read the shape and details from your picture and confirm them with you in writing. Your dress follows that agreed design, cut to your measurements, rather than being a copy of someone else’s dress. Our guide to recreating a dress from a picture explains what we look for.
Customers in the UK are quoted and pay in pounds. The quote includes courier delivery to your door and any import VAT, duty and fees, so there is nothing to pay when the parcel arrives. Shipping time is extra and depends on the courier.
