Sewing a Wedding Dress or Buying Ready Made?

Brides-to-be have a question in their minds before the wedding; "Does it make more sense to have a wedding dress sewn or to buy ready-made?". Instead of making a quick decision on this issue, we think you should carefully examine both options. In this article, we decided to share the advantages and disadvantages of both options with you!

Does It Make More Sense to Have a Wedding Dress Sewn or Buy Ready?

Buying the Wedding Dress Ready

First, let's take a look at the pros and cons of buying a ready-made wedding dress...

Advantages of buying a ready-made wedding dress

• You have a lot of choices when it comes to wedding dresses such as style, color, tone and manufacturer. You don't have to be stuck with a single model.
• It is quite easy to ensure that a ready-made wedding dress fits the body perfectly. Although some adjustments are required, you don't have to wait too long.
• You can try the product on immediately.

Disadvantages of buying a ready-made wedding dress

• Too many options can sometimes be problematic. When there are many alternatives, there may be more indecision about the choice.
• If the body lines are not standardized; fitting the model you like may cause problems.
• You may encounter high price ranges in terms of cost.
• Difficulties may arise in the face of accessory selection in purchased wedding dresses.

Sewing a Wedding Dress

We can say that the prices of wedding dresses are almost equal to the wedding expenses. When this is the case, instead of buying a wedding dress that they like from the store, many women choose to find a tailor and have it sewn for the same model.

Of course, it is important to have a wedding dress model you like at an affordable price. However, tailors working at affordable prices sometimes fail to deliver the wedding dress on time or you may not get the results you want. For this reason, some brides-to-be do not take part in this gamble in order to avoid high costs and prefer to have the model they like sewn in the same fashion house according to their body measurements.

Considering all these details, we think that before you decide to have your wedding dress sewn, you should carefully examine the pros and cons that it will bring you.

Advantages of Having a Wedding Dress Tailored

• You will have a wedding dress with an original, unique design that completely describes you and suits your style and taste,
• You can play on the models you like as you wish and use the accessories you want,
• You can create the model of your own imagination without being tied to any model in color, style and fabric,
• You can get prices from different tailors for a model you like from the catalog or the store, and you can have your wedding dress at more affordable prices,
• Since your wedding dress will be sewn exactly according to your body lines, you will not need too much revision (If the wedding dress you want will require a lot of revision due to your body lines or body structure, it is a more logical decision to have it sewn from scratch).

Disadvantages of Sewing a Wedding Dress

• One of the biggest and most important disadvantages is time. Unfortunately, the process of sewing a wedding dress can take some time. Even if we assume that everything goes well, you have to sacrifice at least 15-20 days (even if you work very hard, you need at least 10 days). But what if everything goes wrong and the time is extended? Well, considering such situations, you should definitely make sure that you have a few months ahead of you.
• You need to rehearse often. This can cause you to compromise on the time that is important to you in your wedding preparations.
• It may also be the case that you do not get the result you want in the model you like. What if the tailor you choose does not perform as you expect?
• You will be investing in a product whose final form you can predict, but you will not see the finished product. In order not to risk your wedding dress, we recommend that you go to a professional fashion house instead of a tailor who offers an affordable price, and if necessary, increase the budget you have allocated for the wedding dress a little more.
