Every piece starts with a conversation where we meet one-on-one to share ideas and dream up your ideal design. From there, I craft the piece with great care and attention to detail, involving you in each step of the process. From choosing fabrics to refining silhouettes, we work closely together to bring your vision to life.

Your Story Woven Into Every Detail

step 1

Consultation

This is where we begin. During our initial meeting, we’ll explore your ideas, timeline, and any inspiration you may have. It’s a chance to get to know each other, and for you to ask questions and see if this process feels right. There’s no pressure to commit — just an open, honest conversation about what’s possible.

It’s best to start this process at least six months in advance to ensure we have the time and space to create your piece with the attention it deserves. 

step 2

Design & Measurements

Once we decide to move forward, I’ll begin by drafting your design and taking detailed measurements. We’ll look at fabric options together and finalize the overall concept. This stage is collaborative and flexible — whether you know exactly what you want or are still exploring, I’ll help guide the design to reflect your style and story.

step 3

Fitting

A series of fittings allows us to perfect every detail. We’ll begin with a simple sample version of your piece to adjust the fit, shape, and proportions. Most garments go through about four fittings, depending on the design. This step is all about precision and refinement — ensuring that your gown feels just right and moves with you beautifully.

step 4

Finishing Touches

Once all fittings are complete and every detail has been refined, your gown is finished by hand with care and precision. It will be pressed, packaged, and ready for pickup or delivery.

FAQ

How far in advance should I start the custom dress process?

With custom work, the earlier the better! This will allow us to order specialty materials and carefully fit and adjust your piece. Ideally, you should start the process at least 6 months or more in advance.

How much does a custom gown cost?

Pricing varies based on the complexity of the design, materials, and number of fittings. Typically, custom corsets start at $3,000, while a mini or reception dress is around $5,000 and full gowns are $8,000- $10,000+. If you have a specific look in mind, please contact us and we can provide a more accurate quote.

Do you work with clients outside of Vancouver?

Yes — depending on the project, remote fittings and consultations may be possible. We can discuss your location and needs to see what's feasible.

What materials can I choose from?

We have a selection of high quality french lace, and multiple silk weaves including satin, chiffon, organza and similar textiles that are always available. Additionally, we will often source specialty fabrics specific to your needs, such as custom colours or beaded embroidery.

Can you work with sentimental or heirloom fabrics?

Yes. If you have a special fabric or item you'd like to incorporate, we can explore how to thoughtfully include it in your design.

Jules Marie Design created my custom second look for my wedding last July, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Jules is a master at her craft. Her eye for detail is incredible, and she brought my vision to life even more beautifully than I imagined. She was an absolute dream to work with from our first initial introduction call to all of the fitting appointments. I felt amazing in the final look! I can’t recommend her enough!

Lindsay, 2025 Bride

I had the pleasure of working with Julianna on my reception dress, and it was one of my favourite parts of the wedding process. From start to finish, the experience felt seamless and thoughtful. I came to her not fully knowing what I wanted, and she was incredibly patient, sketching multiple ideas and guiding me toward a style I loved. Her attention to detail and craftsmanship are exceptional. The final piece was effortless, beautifully made, and fit me like a glove. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect dress for such a meaningful moment and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any brides looking for something truly custom!
