Walk down the aisle in a custom creation

Every woman has a vision of her ideal wedding dress clearly in mind, but the search for that dress can be far from perfect.

What does a bride do if she still can't find "the one" after going through six issues of Brides magazine and every rack at seven or eight bridal shops? Have it custom made, of course! If off-the-rack just won't seem to work, here's a list of Valley dressmakers and designers who can make your dream a reality.

Sylvia Danese DiCola has been designing custom bridal gowns since 1971. She can design a dress based on a sample, an idea or the bride's list of criteria. She is renowned for knowing exactly how to accentuate a bride's features and figure, and she takes face and eye shape into account when designing.

Because of the differences in fabric, style, detailing and amount of material in every custom design, prices range from $900 to $9,000. A price quote is generated after the design is complete. Custom gowns are available as soon as the bride requests; there is no set production time.
