<p>If you&#8217;ve ever really liked a dress at a bridal shop, but wished that the neckline was a little higher/train a little shorter/sash a little wider, then here is your opportunity to be creative and design the perfect gown! And since a muslin dress fitted to your exact measurements is used to create the finished product, not only will your dress fit like a glove, you&#8217;ll save hundreds of dollars on alterations.</p>
