Meet the seamstress
Hi there! So glad you’re here. My name is Emily Engar. I’m a 24 year-old seamstress and designer. I’ve been making my own clothes since I was eight years old. I am incredibly passionate about beautiful, high quality, well fitting pieces. I make custom wedding dresses and do alterations. Let’s work together to make your dreams become a reality!
Why custom made?
There are plenty of great wedding dress shops in Utah, but lots of them stock limited sizes and styles. The search for a perfect dress is often full of pressure and can be demoralizing if your body type isn’t accomadated by the standard floor stock sizes. If you do find a style you like, you’ll most likely need to have the dress altered, which can be costly on top of what you already paid for it. Why not do it all in one place for half the price and none of the headache? All my dresses are $1,000-2,500 depending on complexity and fabric cost. I will work with you until the dress is absolutely perfect, making sure you feel beautiful and confident throughout the process.

How does it work?
Consultation
Our first consultation is 30 minutes and is all about me catching your vision. We’ll look over your inspiration gowns, sketch out a design, and order fabric. Then I will take your measurements so I can make your custom pattern pieces.
Mockup fitting
In the week after we meet, I will make a rough draft of your custom designed dress out of fabric called muslin. When you come back we will fit this mockup gown to your body so I have the perfect pattern to make your real dress out of.
Dress Fitting
In the remaining weeks, I will make your dress and have you come try it on. I will make any final changes and voila! Your dream wedding dress is complete and you are ready to shine on the best day of your life.
How long does it take?
I ask that you give me at least a MONTH AND A HALF advance notice. It usually takes me about a week to make a wedding dress, but I like to have plenty of extra time just in case we want to make some big changes to the design in the middle of construction.
