Our full collection and any bespoke custom gowns are available in any color, including black. We happily serve clients who found their gown at other fine bridal retailers. Many of our customers that order black dyeing services already wore their dress and are upcycling their wedding dress!
Black Dyed gowns are both our most popular and most challenging requests. Some fabrics will reach a rich, full black while many max out at a charcoal or even barely gray. Our process provides peace of mind with a swatch test to ensure you approve of the end result before we move forward with dyeing the full dress. We begin with the end in mind and begin your complimentary zoom consult by reviewing the unique variables to your project.

In your Zoom consult we'll review our expectations for your fabric type, based upon our experience with hundreds of variables. We also developed an estimator tool so you can get a quote for your proejct before we meet.
Sometimes a "failed" swatch test tells us that part of the dress will take color while another won't, or that only charcoal might be feasible. Some of our clients knowingly opt to proceed and achieve gorgeous looks! Others use their swatch test results to pivot to a new color.
