Why should I Purchase a Designer Dress?
Many people find themselves asking this important question when it comes time to begin shopping for a formal wear gown. Careful thought and consideration goes into every aspect of an event worthy of an elegant gown: the hair, shoes, jewelry, and each minute detail that will bring to life your vision.
Design
Most fashionable women will admit it is hard to keep up with changing trends without breaking the bank. Often times the styles of clothing you see in major department stores and other chain retailers are knock-offs from that year’s runway shows and their creators. With a designer gown there is no doubting that it is an original concept. You won’t have to settle for an interpretation of what you want, but the inspiration for all others that follow. The designers that comprise out lineup are the best in their field; they set trends, employ cutting edge construction, and utilize only the finest materials.
Materials
When it comes to clothing, touch is paramount. When you feel a garment you can detect through your fingers the very quality of that piece. Our designer dresses are made from the best fabrics and the choice unblemished portions of any particular ream. Non-designer dresses are cut and made to induce as little cost as possible, often sacrificing quality over production. Each bolt of fabric is used down the closest inch, leading to inferior cuts and pieces that can ultimately fail. A formal wear gown from a reputable designer focuses on the quality over quantity mantra, focusing on making each dress impeccable. Any imperfections in hue (discoloration), weave (loose texture), or fabric integrity (holes, runs, etc) keep a section of fabric from being used. Only the finest satins, silks, and other high end cloths are used for these gowns. Real crystals, glass beads, and various accoutrements of unrivaled quality detail each of these looks.
Construction/Finishing
Designer gowns are constructed by professionals who have extensive history dealing with delicate fabrics. Specialized sewing machines ensure a locked seam and clean, smooth hems. Intricate stitches are and locking thread-work are also used in detailing. A vital detail to consider, these gowns are constructed in small batches with each piece being completed by an individual craftsman. Mass produced gowns are set up for assembly line production, each worker only focusing on their small part and completing their task as quickly as possible (sacrificing quality). The artisans who create and sew a designer gown look at the complete picture of a design, ensuring a well balanced, immaculately constructed gown. This individual craftsmanship is what allows each gown to be unique even if cut from the same fabric or detailed in the same bead work.
Availability
The formal wear industry has two main seasons: Spring (January-May) and Fall (August-October). Spring covers the industry’s high run of pageants and proms. Fall covers Homecoming and college events. Generally, designers have pieces within collections that are great options for other formal events such as weddings, parties, and balls. Designer dresses are most readily available during these time frames, but unlike mass produced gowns (which are manufactured in singular runs) can be custom ordered if not in stock. A dress from a mass market is difficult if not impossible to locate outside the store if you’re interested in it. A designer gown can be researched and tracked to local retailers and often ordered after sold out with its individual style number and description.
Although there are multiple options when it comes acquiring a designer gown, we want you to keep in mind that the availability of each design is not infinite. Some gowns are limited run, with a certain number produced and the pattern destroyed. Best sellers may be carried over into multiple seasons but produced with varying colors and prints, allowing any given complete look a high level of demand and rarity.
With a Designer label comes certain expectations. You should anticipate luxury fabrics and indulgent details in the finest crystals, beading, and other accoutrements. The fit, although not custom should be conscience of a woman’s body and the way it moves, all while wrapped in a glamorous package. Many people think it is merely a name you pay for when it comes to a designer gown, but it is the history and expertise in which each piece is dreamed up and then executed that makes a designer dress something worth investing in.
