Hi! I'm Sarah Kolis, a custom couture wedding dress designer based in Michigan but serving the whole midwest. I love creating custom gowns and alterations for clients and I have a special love for vintage fashion. Thanks for stopping by!
A baby’s christening is a moment filled with love, tradition, and meaning. It’s a time for family to gather, celebrate, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Such a special occasion deserves a gown that is just as meaningful—one that tells a story, holds sentimental value, and can be passed down for generations. Sarah Kolis and the team specialize in creating custom christening gowns with the same care and attention to detail as our bridal gowns, ensuring this milestone is even more memorable!
Imagine your little one wearing a christening gown made from the fabric of your wedding dress—or perhaps your mother’s or grandmother’s gown. Repurposing a gown that already holds so much love and history is a beautiful way to continue your family’s legacy. We take great care in transforming these fabrics into delicate, heirloom-quality gowns, ensuring that every stitch preserves the memories of the past while creating something new for the future!
Not ready to part with your wedding dress just yet? That’s completely understandable. We can preserve the bodice and a lot of the skirt to leave it intact, allowing you to save it for future special moments, such as a shortened version for an anniversary or another meaningful keepsake!
For those who prefer a completely new design, we are happy to create a custom christening gown from the luxurious fabrics of your choice. We’ll work with you to select the perfect materials, trims, and details to bring your vision to life. We’ll carefully plan every element:
Each choice ensures that your child’s christening gown is a unique and beautiful reflection of your style and the significance of the occasion!
Every bit of fabric holds sentimental value, and we believe in making the most of every piece. Leftover material can be used to create additional keepsakes, such as holiday ornaments, a Christmas tree skirt, or other small heirloom pieces. These thoughtful mementos allow the story of your gown to live on in different ways, ensuring that no detail is forgotten!
Creating your custom christening gown is a journey we take together. From the initial consultation to the final fitting, we ensure the process is seamless, joyful, and deeply personal. For those outside Metro Detroit, virtual consultations and regular updates keep you involved in every step of the process, making sure your vision comes to life exactly as you imagined!
Just as your wedding dress marked the beginning of your journey, a custom christening gown represents a new chapter. It’s a way to honor your family’s story while creating something special for your little one. We are honored to be part of these moments, crafting gowns that will be treasured for generations!
If you’re ready to begin or have questions about how we can bring your vision to life, reach out today. Let’s create a christening gown that celebrates love, family, and tradition!
