Making of Our Gowns

 

 

CRAFTSMANSHIP & CREATING YOUR GOWN

Every Millia London gown is a celebration of British couture craftsmanship.

Designed and made entirely in the United Kingdom, each piece is handcrafted by our team of artisans using time-honoured techniques, meticulous construction methods, and a deep commitment to quality.

Our gowns are priced from £4,000 – £10,000, reflecting the artistry, materials and hours invested into each creation.

FABRICS

We work exclusively with premium couture tulles, selected for their softness, structure and ethereal movement.

Every gown is lined with either:

• luxurious nude stretch lining for comfort and flexibility, or

• 100% silk satin for a refined, elevated finish.

All materials are sourced with an emphasis on longevity, drape and touch — ensuring each gown feels as exceptional as it looks.

THE CRAFT OF FIT

Craftsmanship is at the heart of our silhouettes.

Each gown is individually cut, shaped and sewn by hand to achieve:

• a sculpting fit that flatters the natural form

• structure where needed, softness where desired

• impeccable lines that photograph beautifully from every angle

Our atelier combines couture construction with the ease of ready-to-wear — ensuring an elegant, body-flattering fit that feels effortless.

FUNCTION MEETS BEAUTY

A gown should move with you.

Every Millia London piece is designed to balance comfort, lightness and drama, allowing you to walk, pose and dance freely while maintaining the breathtaking volume and presence the brand is known for.

Production time is typically 3–6 months from the date of purchase.

For clients requiring a shorter timeline, we often accommodate rush orders (additional fees may apply).

FROM SKETCH TO FINISHED GOWN

Because every stage of creation takes place in the United Kingdom, we maintain strict control over quality, craftsmanship and timing. This includes:

• initial sketching and design development

• sourcing premium tulles and silk linings

• hand-cutting, draping and appliqué

• artisanal construction and finishing

• detailed quality inspection before dispatch

Without overseas delays or mass-production processes, each gown is created with intention, artistry and care — a timeless piece to cherish forever.
