Atelier Bianca

I cannot recommend Bianca highly enough! She tailored my wedding dress to absolute perfection, creating a piece that was not only stunning and form-fitting but also comfortable enough for an adventurous vow exchange in Iceland. She truly made me feel beautiful. After our wedding, Bianca transformed my dress into a timeless tea-length style that I can wear again, extending its life with her skilled alterations. Over the years, I’ve trusted her with several other dresses, and she always seems to work magic. Bianca’s attention to detail and her commitment to bringing each garment to its fullest potential make her an absolute gem. If you're looking for someone to bring your vision to life, Bianca is the one.

Bianca is amazing! She made me the most beautiful pieces for my wedding, a ceremony gown and reception mini dress. As a plus size woman, I haven’t always had the best experiences with clothing in general. Bianca not only made me incredible pieces that were handcrafted and exactly what I wanted, but she never made me feel self conscious about my body or size. This was so important to me because it isn’t always easy or comfortable to be half naked in front of someone while getting measurements taken, doing fittings, etc. Bianca was always kind, professional, and generally a lovely human. I was so grateful for her during a really stressful time for putting me at ease and making me feel beautiful on my wedding day. I would recommend Bianca without hesitation to anyone looking for a custom made piece.

I had a vision of my perfect wedding dress. I shopped in person and online and could not find what I was looking for (and trust, I am really good at shopping!) The first time I met with Bianca, she pulled a sketch book out and as I described my dress, little by little, she drew exactly what I wanted. It was a collaborative process from the beginning to the end. We picked the lace together, virtually. I wanted a pink underlay and using her expertise, she guided me to a softer pink than I had originally chosen-a choice I’m forever grateful for. She made adjustments up to the wire as my body was changing throughout the process. Not only did she sketch the dress I had in my brain, she then executed literally THE perfect dress for me! It’s 7 years later and I am STILL obsessed with it! I can’t wait to wear it for my 10 year renewal of vows! I had such a wonderful experience that when my son’s fiancé needed a custom veil for their Goth-inspired Halloween wedding, I took her to Bianca too. Not only do I cherish the finished product, I also enjoyed the process of creating with Bianca my custom dress that was the icing atop the cake, so to speak. And FYI-we did this on a budget!

Bianca is the best. She helped my lovely but standard wedding dress from Etsy become a more custom, fitted, and interesting piece for my postponed Covid wedding. What might have been a lonely and scary experience—alterations on my own during peak pandemic—was a really intimate and special one with Bianca’s guidance and transparency. All that and the custom work made the dress so unique and functional! An added bustle, the perfect length/fit all around… all the details that make you feel like the best version of yourself on your wedding day. I can’t recommend Bianca enough! I was newer to the area and now I’m also a regular at Toile for everyday shopping. Couldn’t ask for a better series of events!
