Custom Design
A gown drawn only for you
Commission a one-of-one modest gown — your coverage, your beadwork, your entrance. From first sketch to final fitting, made in our Australian atelier.

A private commission
One gown, drawn around you
A Sahar commission begins as a conversation, not a size chart. We start from the entrance you picture and the coverage you live in, then draw a single gown that belongs to no one else — sleeve, neckline and lining specified to your comfort from the very first sketch.
Nothing here is repeated for another client. The pattern is cut to your body, the beadwork mapped to your silhouette, the finish chosen for the room you'll walk into.
The commission
From first message to entrance
Six considered steps, each at the pace your gown deserves — transparent at every stage, committed only when you are.
Share your vision
Send references, colours and the occasion. Tell us the coverage you want and the entrance you imagine — long sleeves, a cape, a particular neckline.
Consultation
We talk silhouette, fabric and beadwork, then give you an honest timeline against your event date before a single thing is committed.
The design
Your gown is sketched and quoted to the detail. A deposit secures your place in the atelier calendar and opens the pattern.
Beadwork & build
Crystal, pearl and feather are set by hand; sleeves, capes and full linings constructed to your own measurements.
Fittings
We fit and refine in person until it sits exactly right through the shoulder, the sleeve and the length.
Delivery
Final press, finish and a personal hand-over — collected from the studio or couriered, pressed, to your door.
Inside the atelier
The handwork behind the gown
Beadwork, set by hand
Crystal and pearl, placed one by one
Custom is where Sahar is most itself. Dense crystal and soft feather are set by hand against a structure built to carry them, so the weight reads as luxury and never as strain. Density is mapped across the gown — heavier where the light should catch, quieter where the eye should rest.
Cut to you
Sleeves and capes that move as drawn
Every sleeve, cape and lining is engineered to your own measurements, not adapted from a chart. We build the architecture first — the seams, the bones, the linings — then let the surface do its work. A cape lifts cleanly, a long sleeve falls true, a fully lined gown stays opaque through every light in the room.
The atelier promise
We don't adapt a gown to fit you. We draw one gown that could only ever be yours.
Your gown, your way
What we can build for you
Begin from any of these and we'll draw the rest around it. Every line is a decision made with you — coverage first, drama second, comfort throughout.
- Necklines
- Raised, boat or sweetheart-with-insert — covered, drawn the way you want it to sit.
- Sleeves
- Long sheer, long lined, cape or detachable, in any density of beadwork you choose.
- Capes & overlays
- Detachable drama for the ceremony, lifted away and restyled for the reception.
- Beadwork
- Crystal and pearl density mapped by hand across the gown to your design and budget.
- Overskirts
- Satin volume engineered to lift for the entrance and the dance, then settle.
- Full lining
- Every gown lined end to end for comfort and complete, considered opacity.
One of one
The only gown of its kind — and it's yours.
Before you commission
Custom questions, answered
How far ahead should I commission?
The earlier the better — beadwork-dense gowns need lead time and fittings. Message us with your date and we'll tell you honestly if it's achievable.
Can you recreate a look I've seen?
We design original pieces inspired by your references — coverage, silhouette and beadwork tailored to you, never a copy of another label.
How does the deposit work?
After your consultation we send a quote and a secured deposit link. The deposit reserves your place and is credited to the final balance.
Can a custom gown also be purchased outright?
Yes — custom pieces are commissioned and yours to keep. (Custom gowns are never offered for hire.)
