Announcement    WINTER'S END SALE! 40% off of ALL VINTAGE ITEMS!

Hello, and welcome to Gilded Silk ~ I look forward to being part of your love story and helping you create something unforgettable for one of the most important days in your life.

I've been sewing all my life, and my European Grandparents were my biggest fans and strongest influence growing up. They taught me the value of hard work, helping others and how to love a large garden and a good book.

I value the responsibility of being involved in your special event, but I hope the process of deciding on the multitude of details is fun for you as well. I'd like to think you can look back years from now and remember our "dress chats" with a smile.

So, grab a coffee (or glass of wine) and browse through my boutique. And when you're ready let's start chatting over hemlines and lace!

******************************************************************

Gilded Silk is proud to be a slow fashion brand, creating formal wear in which time has been spent on trendless designs, fair fabric sourcing, and quality apparel production. I have a deep respect for people and the environment and aim to keep my small company as transparent as possible. The end result is clothing for your special day that you can feel wonderful about wearing.

I've been creating and selling from my beloved Victorian home studio since 2008. Please find my original Etsy shop (where I have specialized in petticoats, skirts and capes) here at https://www.etsy.com/shop/porshesplace and feel free to read through my 5-star reviews. I want to make sure you feel comfortable entrusting your most important apparel decisions into my hands.

I personally handcraft each and every item that goes into your ensemble here in my USA based sewing studio. I tend to be a bit meticulous and extremely detail oriented - which is why your gorgeous item may take just a bit longer. I will never rush through your order and you will receive the results of many, many hours of diligent stitch work. I will include you throughout the process (if that is what you desire) or take all the worry off your hands and finish without fuss.

As a second generation seamstress, I was able to hone my skills over the past 20 years, and have recently added a sexy new skill that I am very excited to share: custom corsetry! Special thanks to the amazing Tatiana at The Corset Academy for the invaluable training.

Frequently asked questions

Sizing details

All dresses are made from scratch and can be customized in sizes from 00 up to 6X. There is a slight fabric surcharge with plus sizes to ensure that fullness/style is not compromised. Thank you so much for your understanding.

Care instructions

Generally speaking, all handmade items should be dry cleaned to ensure their longevity. Tulle petticoats are the exception. They can safely be washed in cool water and then dried on low tumble (or hung to dry). Please convo me if you have any questions.

Wholesale availability

I am a small slow fashion brand and do not accept wholesale orders at this time.

However, there is a 20% discount for multiple orders (for instance for 2 or more bridesmaid dresses). Please contact me in a convo if you have any questions or would like to set up a personalized listing for multiple items.

Custom and personalized orders

I offer muslin "mock-ups" for a small charge. This is ideal if you find that you are generally hard to fit, and you are worried about your wedding dress not being on-point when ordered on-line.

You will receive a basic muslin version of your dress, without the zipper/closure or any of the trimmings. You can try this on and mark it up with a sharpie in spots that you would like to alter or that don't seem quite "right". Then just mail this back to me in the prepaid envelope and I will use that as your dress template.

This process helps to ensure a perfect fit even at a distance!

In person consultations

If you prefer in-person measurements and one in-person fitting before the dress is completed, please contact me via Etsy convos. I live in Westlake, Ohio and I can arrange for a private fitting session if you live within driving distance.

Exchanges and Returns

As I hope you will understand, many long hours go into creating each custom-made dress. They are sewn up for you with your individual measurements. Therefore, at this time I cannot accept returns.

However, the happiness of my clients is of upmost importance to me... and I will strive to make your order right in any way I can. I will alter your dress one time free of charge after you have received it if it needs tweaking. This is considered an "exhange" and I will cover all shipping costs.

Thank you so much for your understanding.

HOW to order

2. Please note your preferences (if available) in the dropdown selections. I may convo you to discuss fabric options.

3. Please use your basic size for choosing the drop-down selection. I will be contacting you after your order to discuss detailed measurements.

4. If we've discussed a custom order, I will make up a custom listing for you, with the particulars of your order and an estimated shipping date. You can purchase through this listing.

5. Please leave the date of your event in the "notes to seller" box upon checkout.

6. Now your work is done - I will contact you via Etsy to discuss particulars and measurements... then I will start working on your beautiful new item!

I can't wait to create for you!
