Made to Measure · Sewn in America

Gowns made with love in America.

For forty years, Modern Trousseau has hand-sewn made-to-measure wedding gowns in our American atelier. Each one is cut to your own measurements, never a standard size.

The Making of a Modern Trousseau Gown

Timeless in every detail.

Each gown begins as a sketch and a single length of cloth. In our atelier, skilled hands drape, stitch, and hand-finish every seam, true couture technique. Cut to your measurements and made in America, for you and no one else.

The Modern Trousseau Difference

Made to your measure, and no one else’s.

We take more than thirty measurements, then cut and hand-sew your gown for your body alone. It begins as a length of cloth and becomes, unmistakably, yours.
