Make it Yours: Customizable Features and Styling Tips
At Maggie Sottero, customization isn’t an afterthought, it’s the heart of creating a gown that’s as unforgettable as your love story. From detachable sleeves to sparkle tulle, every detail is designed with you in mind. Here’s how you can personalize your dress to feel so you.
Personalization’s That Turn Gowns Into Statements
Maggie’s “Personalize It!” menu brings a world of options:
- Choose a lined or illusion bodice, because sometimes a peek of skin is all the intrigue you need.
- Swap in sparkle or glitter tulle or keep it classic with plain layers.
- Add or remove sleeves to master the art of surprise, or switch from ceremony to reception with ease.
- Opt for illusion tulle that flatters your skin tone, ensuring bridal magic, not awkward contrast.
- Switch straps, buttons, train length, even add bra cups that match your tone (at no cost!).
Simply put, you’re not choosing off a rack. You’re curating a gown that captures your flair.
Accessories That Amp up the Wow
Want to dial up the drama? Maggie delivers:
- Detachable sleeves, jackets, capes, or wraps offer show-stopping reveals, hello, two-in-one bridal looks.
- Veils come in fingertip, chapel, waltz or cathedral lengths, choose your veil to match your vibe, from ethereal flutter to full-on fairytale.
- Overskirts, bows, trains, and more let you dial up the glamour or simplify into something sleek mid-celebration.
Styling Tip: Two Looks in One
A favorite among Maggie brides: detachable sleeves for a seamless style switch. Say “I do” in elegant sleeves, then dance the night away with them off, without missing a beat.
Plus, illusion tones and tulle types can entirely change your gown’s feel, romantic, bold, ethereal…you decide.
Why it Matters
Personalization isn’t about extras; it’s about aligning your dress with your story. Whether it’s a shimmering layer that catches the light or a sleeve that lets you feel both timeless and unexpected, customization is how you make Maggie magic your magic.
Individuality Never Goes Out of Style
At Maggie Sottero, we believe your wedding dress should feel like an extension of you, your story, your personality, your style. From inclusive sizing and custom fit features to unique silhouettes, bold design details, and endless personalization options, we design gowns that celebrate every kind of bride. Because trends may come and go, but feeling confident, authentic, and completely yourself on your wedding day? That’s timeless.
