Eveningwear & Bridal
At Shaun Oliver, our eveningwear and bridal pieces are available in two pathways: fully bespoke or semi bespoke. Each option allows you to choose the level of customisation that best reflects your style and vision. Explore a curated selection of silhouettes
in store, which can be tailored as a semi bespoke creation crafted to your measurements, or indulge in the fully bespoke experience, designing a garment from the ground up to realise your dream piece with absolute precision.
Fully Bespoke
Our fully bespoke service allows you to bring your vision to life, a truly personal creation crafted by Freya with artistry and precision.
Your journey begins with inspiration.
Freya will translate your ideas into hand-drawn sketches, presenting a selection of designs tailored exclusively for you. Once your perfect design is chosen, it is transformed into a
toile ~ a fabric prototype made for your first fitting.
Freya will personally refine the toile to your exact measurements and silhouette, reworking and perfecting it as many times as needed until every line and detail feels flawless. Only once we are both entirely satisfied is your final piece entrusted to our expert bespoke seamstress, who will craft it in your chosen fabric.
Our seamstress brings couture-level expertise from a renowned luxury atelier in Knightsbridge, ensuring your piece is executed to the highest standard of craftsmanship.
The result is a truly one-of-a-kind creation, made exclusively for you, to your exact measurements, and destined to be cherished for a lifetime.
Made To Measure
Our made to measure service offers the perfect balance of luxury and convenience. Ideal for those who wish to experience a garment in person before commissioning their own, this option allows you to try on a sample before your piece is expertly tailored to your exact measurements.
Each design is individually re-crafted for you, ensuring an impeccable fit and offering the opportunity for subtle design refinements to reflect your personal style.
You may select your fabric from a curated collection of exquisite luxury deadstock materials ~ rare, responsibly sourced fabrics chosen for their quality and beauty. At the heart of this process lies our commitment to sustainability: reimagining existing textiles into timeless, one-of-a-kind pieces made exclusively for you.
