Vintage Wedding Dresses

Pretty Ruby chose the "Shaheen Dream" classic vintage style; see how perfectly it transformed into a wedding dress?. We made it for her in a fragile, matte silk shantung as delicate as her rose petals.

Most of our styles turn magically into wedding dresses. You may want long and white; you may want tea length and powder blue. All of our brides, clearly, have their very own ideas! Examples on this page are of one of a kind dresses we have made for customers, complete with 100% custom-fitting. If you'd like to order a ready-made dress in order to save money or because you are an easy-to-fit size,

Claudia wanted a poufy tea length dress in leopard with wine colored contrast! She found her own black tulle crinoline petticoat to peek out at the hem.

Above, Claudia's own variation, based on a Shaheen vintage dress style.

Julie chose this adorable vintage dress style in white cotton that is hand-woven with a subtle, fine silver metallic fiber! A little contrast at the bust in deep red made the result just magical and 100% her!

Photographed in our studio during construction, a customer's three-quarter sleeve vintage bolero style in luscious silk satin. This can be just the answer to create an altar look that even Mom will like (if you don't want to show the tattoo at that moment while still being able to wear a dress style that fits your glamorous and siren-like personality!)

A Note To Our Cherished Customers:

We know how important your wedding dress is to you. For this reason it is extremely important to us as well. We appreciate your entrusting us with what will most likely be your life's most "crucial" dress decision.

If you are a returning customer who is coming to us this time for your wedding dress, you already know that we take great care with every dress we make. But when it's a wedding dress, we use more labor-intensive, couture sewing techniques and we cover every possible base to ensure the dress is as perfect as possible in every way.

For completely custom-made, custom-fit dresses, we do not make the dress simply in a "size". We use your measurements PLUS your own unique contours which we obtain from your body pics. We use a dress form that *duplicates your own unique curves* and we build your dress on that form! If we don't have a form here that we can use for your dress, we custom-make one!

We email you when there is a question about which we think you might want some input. We often use fabrics requiring great expertise and careful handling. We spend significantly more time on wedding dresses so they do cost more than the dresses we make that are not intended for use as a wedding dress.

Our wedding dress prices are quoted on an individual basis after evaluating your project. Whirlingturban all-custom wedding dresses are usually between about $800 to $2000. Please check our Bridal Boutique for our dresses made by size, starting at about $400.

Compare: 1) the quality of the fabrics we use, 2) the actual complexity; amount of both machine and hand-sewn detail that goes into our dresses, 3) the precision and personalization of the fit, and 4) the personal service we give our wedding customers. You would need to pay 3 to 4 times as much, elsewhere, for a dress of quality equal to ours, supervised by a person with Katherine's New York fashion and Hollywood entertainment industry experience.

Because you buy directly from us without a middle man, because we work and live modestly and greenly, and because we are able to pay our very deserving staff well, while the cost of living is lower here in Bali, we are in a unique position to give you so much more for your wedding dress budget. You can feel good about our sustainable work style when you support Whirlingturban, and we thank you!.
