The Process

At Sabrina Makar, each gown is a unique work of art, meticulously crafted to reflect the individuality, elegance, and spirit of the woman who wears it.
The process is deeply personal, grounded in tradition, and elevated by modern design sensibilities.

1. Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a consultation. Together, we explore your vision, the occasion, your desires. This is where we get to know you, so that your future gown tells your story.

2. Design & Sketch

Once the design is complete, a second appointment will be booked. At this time, you can make any modification you wish. When the design is approved, we will start crafting the one-of-a-kind piece.

3. Measurement & Draping

Your measurements are taken to ensure a flawless fit. A bespoke mannequin is then moulded specifically for your body. This serves as the foundation for draping your unique gown.

4. Toile Fitting

Before cutting the final fabric, we construct a toile, a mock-up of the dress made in a cotton canvas. This allows us to refine the silhouette, adjust proportions, and ensure comfort. Multiple fittings may be scheduled to perfect every detail.

5. Fabric Cutting & Embellishment

Once the toile is approved, we begin cutting the final fabric. Hand embroidery, beading or other embellishment are applied with precision and care, often taking hundreds of hours.

6. Final Fitting

The near-complete gown is fitted again on your body to assess drape, movement, and intricacies. Our skilled team ensures every seam, embellishment and hem is flawlessly placed.
