Each dress becomes a unique
reflection of the woman who wears it. It might be
a custom-designed Foxglove exclusive, an
adaptation of a commercial pattern, a
reproduction, or an altered heirloom gown. What
is important is that the dress is finished
exactly as the bride wants it. To help in your selection, Rachel
offers an extensive selection of samples and
swatches, from informal silk broadcloth or
shantung to duchesse satins, taffetas, and
chiffons. We can special order lace medallions,
cloth-backed covered buttons, and all kinds of
bridal lace, hat forms, or veiling accessories. The same artful attention is paid to
veils, headpieces, bridesmaid dresses and
men’s accessories, all designed to
complement the bride’s attire. Also
available from Foxglove are custom petticoats and
undergarments.
