Custom Asian Fusion Wedding Trousers

⁠When Iram saw the ⁠custom Asian fusion wedding trousers and top that I had made for a bridal shoot, she decided she had to have them for her own London wedding – and I don’t blame her! This outfit looks perfect on her.⁠

“I fell in love with Felicity’s design from the moment I saw it online, and seeing it come to life was even better! She helped me customise the outfit with small changes which made it even more special. Felicity made sure the fit was perfect before she let me take the outfit home and I’m so thankful for her attention to detail.

I was so comfortable on the day, and loved every minute of wearing my wedding outfit. It went beautifully with the indo-western, city wedding vibe I was looking for. No other outfit would have met the brief so well, and Felicity was always responsive to any questions or requests I had throughout the whole process.”

– Iram, the bride

The ‘Evie’ separates comprise of a beautiful wedding top and trouser set with beaded waistband for a bride who is not afraid to make a statement. And Iram was definitely not afraid! She exudes chilled, modern bride energy in this cool and comfortable combo.

The ‘Evie’ set comes with a few options; Iram went for the low back top and the wrap over trousers. She personalised the design by choosing her own latkan (traditional Indian blouse tie ends), and the braid for inside the trouser hems. A gorgeous choice, for a gorgeous bride.

About the Evie Separates

I made the top from soft, warm ivory silk satin, cut on the cross for a wonderful drape. The neckline at the front was modest, high and round. At the back I incorporated a unique twist detail that revealed the bride’s back. For the front, I chose to make it cropped, whereas at the back it dips lower. To finish off, I added beautiful metallic gold Indian latkan to the back ties.

The trousers are probably my favourite part of this outfit. Made from soft, matt, ivory silk crepe and lined in the same silk satin as the top. By lining with a silk satin, there’s a soft gleam whenever the inside of the trouser peeks through. The trousers wrapped from the back over the front and for a little sexiness, I added long side splits that flutter open as you walk and dance.

Making a Custom Asian Fusion Wedding Trousers and Top

As always, once I’ve gathered all of my inspiration, I start with a sketch. Because this ensemble was originally for a styled wedding shoot, I was playing with lots of different ideas, including a skirt and removable sleeves for the top.

Then begins the making. I played around with how I wanted the top to fit, then created my pattern off the back of that. And then it was just a lot of sewing! Iram ordered the ‘Evie’ separates online, and we didn’t have the opportunity to do any fittings, so I had be extra vigilant about measurements. Fortunately, it ended up fitting her perfectly.

Below you can see me testing options for which beaded waistband would be better. In the end we chose the gorgeous pearl and diamante option. The warm glow of the pearls really complimented the warmth of the ivory silk satin. And I love that you can see if peeking through at the back of the top as well.

After her wedding, Iram sent me a lovely message as well:

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful design and hard work. It would be such a shame not to be able to wear the outfit again so I plan to get it dyed another colour at some point so it can make an appearance throughout the years!”

I can’t wait to see what life this bridal outfit has beyond the wedding day!
