Your Perfect Wedding Dress - Dressmakers are the Ideal Solution
This blog post expresses my thoughts about the importance of considering high quality dressmakers for your wedding dress.
For many women they have dreamed of their wedding day since they were little girls. As one of the most important days in their lives, it would be a cheating on their dreams not to consider having their bridal gown just perfect on the day.
There are two main options for wedding dresses. You can either, buy a mass-produced gown from a bridal boutique and have it adjusted to fit your body, or you can have your wedding dress individually created specifically for you by a qualified professional dressmaker.
To assume that the mass-manufactured wedding gowns are 
cheaper is incorrect. Most bridal stores stock a large range of wedding dresses made by a variety of designers. As the market for wedding dresses is only a small part of the clothing market, the store owner has to charge more than the normal clothing market in order for them to remain in business. They have all the normal retail business costs with a much smaller turnover than the huge general clothing market. Quite often these bridal gowns are marked up by more than 100% to make it commercially viable so a significant part of the price you pay goes to the store owner.
If you still are hoping for the latest designer look but your budget is a little limited, then work with a dressmaker who can copy from the latest design image of your choice and the wedding gown will be a lot cheaper than if the designer gown purchased in a bridal store.
However, if you really want the perfect personalized wedding gown then a dressmaker or couturier will design one especially for you. Whether you are short or tall, thin or pregnant, your dressmaker can create every detail you want with a unique pattern made exactly to highlight your best features.
It’s your special day and ideally your wedding dress should fit you perfectly and comfortably but a mass-produced dress rarely will. Although most bridal boutiques will take financial responsibility for any mistakes made, alterations are generally more expensive than working with a professional dressmaker.
A highly skilled and experienced dressmaker or couturier will 
charge you quite a lot for your wedding dress but remember apart from purchasing the fabric of your choice, she will probably spend more than 120 hours creating your wedding gown. You are really paying for the expertise, skills and experience to create a dream wedding dress that is perfect for you.
A professional dressmaker will be able to confidently advise you on what fabrics are best for various styles and designs and this will be priceless for you. As well your professional dressmaker will advise you about what will suit your figure best and promote your best features on your special day.
In creating your custom made wedding dress your dressmaker will also take into account the venue style and your personality as well as your body shape. And if you happen to like various aspects of different wedding gown designs then your wedding dressmaker can also combine these into one dress especially for you.
With a custom made wedding dress you do not have to pay extra for alterations, which you would most certainly do if you buy an off-the-rack wedding dress.
Using a dressmaker you can also easily have all your accessories matched to create the perfect outfit.
Your wedding dress is an important decision. When choosing a wedding dressmaker look for recommendations or testimonials; make sure you have done your research of bridal magazines and bridal shops so you have some ideas about what you like or don’t like (such as how formal your day will be, the reception location, preferred fabric, colour, texture, drape, embroidery, sequins, beading, necklines, sleeves and hem lengths) and finally ensure you have good rapport and can feel comfortable with them at all times.
Having a dressmaker who you can easily share your dream dress 
with, who will listen to you but also be honest enough to give you her professional opinion, is a critical part of your dressmaker selection process.
Professional high quality wedding dress makers are usually working for less than a top bridal designer, so the actual cost of your custom made, personalized wedding dress could be very comparable to one of those mass-produced wedding gowns.
Couture dressmaking is an ideal option if you are not happy with those off-the-rack wedding dress selections and you have an idea of what you really want for your special day.
What Do you Think?
This post is definitely not what some dressmakers think. They are simply my thoughts after discussions with dress designers and dressmakers. However, there are some well established dressmaker customers of ours who disagree entirely with what I posted and for very good reasons. So what do you think about using dressmakers for your bridal gown? Do you think they would be just too expensive? Did you use a dressmaker for your wedding? What were your experiences? Please share your thoughts on this very important topic so others can read and learn from your experiences. There are no right or wrong anwers - just what you think is all we are looking for.

8 Superb Reasons to Give Handmade Gifts
Handmade gifts are different, unique and provide a perfect way to personalize the gift you are giving. Discovering and giving something which is handmade or hand woven and made unique by the craftsperson or artist is a great experience both for the receiver and giver. Thus, giving a gift that you made yourself would truly be rewarding. Similarly, giving a gift proudly crafted by someone else would create the same feelings of appreciation.
1. Be Different and Unexpected
A great thing about giving handmade gifts is that it is entirely different and could never be anticipated by the receiver. This makes the handmade gift more exciting and memorable. It is very unlikely that you would see the handicraft that you have received in the shelves of popular stores. Handicrafts are made in less volume compared to mass produced gift items which can be found in different states and locations.
2. Individual and Unique
Handmade crafts have individuality and originality which makes them completely personal. Crafters or those who make handicrafts even encourage customers to make custom orders, like colours, designs, or decorations. Aside from custom orders, the artist who created the crafts, like the weavers from our Thai Silk Magic cooperative, sees to it that they are of high quality as well as being totally unique.
Crafters would like to have regular customers or patrons, but it is difficult if the crafts are not of quality standards. As artists, they also have a sense of pride whenever they see something that they made and how valuable it is to the person who bought or received it. 3. High Quality
4. Easy Availability
Often, people would think that it is actually an inconvenience to get gift items from handicrafts. There would be times that people would think that getting crafted items as gifts would require you to go to far-off craft stores just to get a good item.
But with the improvement of technology, everything was made easier for interested buyers. There are websites where you can check different information and products about different kinds of crafts. A perfect example is this website for beautiful and unique, hand woven Thai silk fabrics that you can find right here at Thai Silk Magic
Not only this, more and more people are showing interest in crafted items. There are craft fairs which showcases the talents of local crafters. There are also craft stores which can carry on with personal or custom orders. In addition to this, local crafters clubs or organizations hold fundraising and other activities that could help them promote crafters and their products.
Another thing which made people think twice about buying craft items in the past was that they were expensive. Although, there would be times when crafts really tend to be expensive you can still find items which do not cost too much. There would be talented craftspeople who are totally competitive with their prices. In order to compete with other crafters, some artists tend to lower their prices to have and maintain clientele. However, for some unique, high quality handmade items one would expect to pay a little more just to be able to have such a special item.
6. Customer Relationships
Another excellent point in purchasing handmade gift items is that quite often there is interaction between the customer and the crafters. To make sure that the customers are happy with their handmade products, crafters build healthy relationship with customers in order for them to deliver or surpass the expected results. A crafter should also welcome criticism and feedback to further improve their handicrafts.
At Thai Silk Magic we appreciate that our customers can only see photographs of our fabrics at our website. As we want to develop good relationships with all our customers we have established a world first customer offer that enables you to actually have your Thai silk fabrics in your hands BEFORE you have to pay for them. We are very proud of our fabrics and as strong relationships of any kind are built on trust our customer offers are based exactly on this principle of trust.
7. 100% Eco-Friendly
There are also many studies and research showing that handmade gifts and crafts are actually more environmental friendly, since they were made by traditional and natural methods. Mass produced items tend to be made in factories that are emitting large amounts of carbon monoxide and also have poor working conditions. We not only use handmade weaving methods at Thai silk Magic but our dyeing processes are 100% natural as well making our fabrics safe for everyone.
8. Durability
Handmade crafts are made in a way that they last for a long time and even transferred from one generation to
another. By caring for your unique Thai silk fabrics they will also be extremely durable and can even become family heirlooms.
Handmade gifts used to be perceived as simple but meaningful gifts. But with the increase of people paying attention on handicrafts and personal gifts, their value has increased significantly. It is no longer a gift that you can make when you lack budget or want to showcase your skill. Handicrafts and handmade items are now recognized around the world as high quality gifts with heartfelt meaning.

Our Thai silk fabrics are exotic, eco-friendly and unique works of art by our village weavers and they are shipped free to you, anywhere in the world. We are happy you took the time to visit our very friendly website and you may also be very pleasantly surprised with our very special customer offers.
