— All dresses are sewn in my boutique in Scottsdale with utmost detail and care. Having a custom made dress created with couture techniques and highest quality fabrics, not to mention handmade finishing for your garments/outfits, make you look unique and create a one-of-a-kind expression of who you.
Custom-made clothing is, as the name suggests, made according to your own unique measurements, so you can be assured that the finished product will fit you like a glove. All dresses are made to order — your dress will be the only one of its kind! Bespoke designer, Lana Gerimovich, will have a consultation with you before sketching the design to make your dreams come true. Unlike custom made shops, bespoke designer creates new patterns based on your particular measurements. This makes your outfits truly one-of-a-kind designed just for you. Alis Fashion Design starts the dressmaking process from the very beginning, finding high-quality fabric from our own sources to provide you with optimum comfort.
Please take a look at our Portfolio page to see our quality of custom designed dresses.
