The design consultation, your first time in my studio, is a dialogue. We’ll look through your likes/dislikes, talk fabric and color, until I get a sense for what to design for you. This design is not a copy of anything else. You will be wearing a unique piece that fits your body, your venue, and your theme.

Once you accept the design, I start making your mock-up. This is the stage where I work on building your gown from the ground up, focusing on fitting your body, and showing you a glimpse of what the final gown will look like.

After this mock-up fitting, the fabric is cut and construction begins. A fitting is done in the fabric, and then the process of finishing your gown begins.

The process takes between 3-6 months, including fabric sourcing, buying and looking at swatches, as well as the construction and finishing.

If you want a luxury experience, a unique design, and the perfect fit, contact Curvy Custom Bride for your first consultation.

Leila was born and raised in Cali, Colombia. She studied Theater and Modern Dance and spent years on stage, later transitioning into directing, choreography, and puppetry. After having her first child, she retired, but the theater bug was still there. Leila loves a dramatic flair!

Leila grew up around sewing, and did a couple of projects, but her sewing took a turn 11 years ago, and she hasn’t turned back since. Almost immediately, she started sewing for others. After years of doing alterations and making custom garments for herself and an exclusive client pool, Leila started working for several designers in the Indianapolis area, including Jerry Lee Atwood, Angel Olivera, Catherine Fritsch, and Erin Young. She also worked for Avant Garb, a mascot making company, which was one fit challenge after the next, and a lot of fun!

With the inception of Curvy Custom Bride, Leila has enjoyed designing wedding gowns (and bridal jumpsuits) for people who appreciate a custom design that is made with their body in mind. These dresses don’t exist anywhere because you don’t, either.
