Romantic Threads produces bespoke gowns for special occasions. Clients can select colors and provide extensive measurements for a great fit. I especially like that they do all their discussion of these special orders via email, so there is no room for confusion. Belinda, the talented seamstress behind Romantic Threads, started creating fairytale couture to fulfill a need. Specifically, she wanted the right dress to wear to her own wedding. I have to love a strong DIY aesthetic, but this one project evolved into a full on clothing business. Belinda’s designs draw from the tropes of steampunk, gothic, and fantasy garb, along with specific dresses inspired by genre movies, including Sleeping Beauty, Ever After, Beauty and the Beast, Legend, Cinderalla, Dracula, and more. I especially like the feminine extravagance of what she calls her Princess gowns. Now I just need a post-covid ball to attend.
