All our ethically made dresses are made in our beautiful light filled studio by fairly paid dressmakers who are creative professionals in their own right. We are obsessed with what we do and our studio vibe is positive and serene.
Choosing a Catherine Langlois wedding dress supports an independent designer and a Made in North America business.

A WORD ABOUT OUR STUDIO
Our wedding dresses are made from natural silks, quality synthetics, eco options when available and vintage fabrics and laces. We also offer Vegan fabric options on selected designs.
We source fabrics from around the world, preferring to work with respected family owned businesses and have forged personal relationships with our suppliers.
Every wedding dress is made to order, one at a time for each unique bride. We carry no excess stock other than our samples, which we sell at a discount. Fabric remnants are donated to schools, craft organizations and textile artists to keep our studio waste to a minimum.
All the wedding dresses are made by hand in our studio, not identically mass made in a factory. For highly detailed gowns there may be slight differences from the sample design shown on the website compared to your gown. This indicates the garment was made by an artist who is choosing placement of applique and beading to best suit the design and size of the dress.
