Dark Garden and the amazing team there were an absolute dream to work with! I've worn and loved Dark Garden corsets for years now, so it felt meant to be when I saw the Signature Separates line. I fell in love with the Rosalind dress and the team worked with me to customize it - all while navigating the COVID pandemic. The dress was gorgeous, fit perfectly, and was so comfortable! Also, having done a fair bit of research before taking the plunge, it was a great value for what ended up feeling like a couture gown and experience.
All my love and thanks to Dark Garden, Autumn, Marianne, and Carynn for making me feel so well-supported and beautiful on the big day.
If you're looking for a non-traditional wedding dress salon, THIS IS IT! They helped me through my couture bridal ensemble, which included an AMAZING black lace cape, as well as a beautiful corset and matching skirt. The dress was a HIT on the big day, people kept on saying I looked like I had walked out of a fairytale! If you want to feel like a badass, taken care of, but don't want to walk the traditional white gown path, reach out and see what they can do for you.
Some people initially wondered why I traveled all the way across the country for my wedding dress, but when they saw the result, they understood.
I have never owned a piece of clothing as beautiful as the dress they made for me. Autumn did a perfect job of hearing what I was saying and interpreting it into something breathtakingly lovely. Plus, since it was made to my measurements exactly, it was incredibly comfortable, even though it involved a tightly laced corset.
In addition to making gorgeous, perfectly fitted clothing, Autumn and the rest of the staff are wonderful to work with. Every step of the way, they made me feel valued and beautiful.
Another thing that I love about Dark Garden is that they make clothing for a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and everything they make looks wonderful on the wearer. Making lovely clothing for someone who already has a perfect figure is one thing. Making lovely clothing for people like me who are, well, bigger than model size and still making me look and feel stunning is a skill that should be celebrated.
I am so glad I chose to get my dress here. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end, and the resultant wedding dress is a treasure.
The dress she built for me was so amazingly comfortable I didn't want to take it off at the end of the day. I have gotten flooded with compliments on my dress. The whole process from discussing ideas and coming up with a design, to the final fitting was so easy. It was nice to know I didn't need to worry about this for the wedding! Highly recommend!!!
I loved Dark Garden. Very meticulous in their measuring and styling of corsetry. Lovely ladies!;Real custom corsets are NOT for the faint of heart!
