Using the JH Collection as a starting point, Juliette and Mais (Bridal Consultant) will help the bride decide every element – from the most flattering silhouette, panel, widths, fullness, to the colors and fabrics, to the way we hand embellish the design.

For more special and one-off designs – Calico Toile is used. A cotton toile is created for the first fitting or more if needed and is then used to develop the initial pattern.
