Made for you.

Atelier Allegra designs and hand-builds custom wedding gowns and cosplay costumes in Redwood City, California. From the first sketch through patterning, fittings, construction, and finishing, every piece is made individually for the person who will wear it.

Whether that means creating a wedding gown from an idea, recreating the details of a favorite character, or engineering a costume that can handle a full convention day, Allegra builds each piece to fit both the wearer and what they need it to do.

The work doesn't stop at what you can see. Boning, lining, closures, seam finishes, and careful internal construction are all part of making a garment that fits beautifully, wears comfortably, and holds up to actually being worn.

Designed for you. Fitted to you. Made for you.

The work

Built the same way, worn very differently.

Bridal & Occasion Couture

Wedding gowns, reception looks, and formalwear built from a first consultation through final fitting — corsetry, structured bodices, and hand finishing on silk, lace, tulle and more.

See bridal work

Costume & Cosplay Commissions

Original and screen-inspired designs for convention and photography — armor bodices, capes, corsetry, and the same boning and finishing techniques used in the bridal work.

How a piece gets made

From first sketch to final fitting.

  • Consultation

    We talk through the event, the reference, your measurements, and budget.

  • Design & Pattern

    A custom sketch and pattern drafted or adapted to your exact measurements.

  • Build & Fittings

    A mockup fitting first, then construction in your final fabric with 1–2 more fittings.

  • Delivery

    Final press, steam, and a garment bag — ready for the day it was built for.

"I sent a fan-art reference and a pile of nerves, and got back a corset that fit better than anything off a rack ever has."
