I make wedding dresses that speak of who you are
I'm Maria Lucia Squillari, designer and dressmaker.
Since 2007 I design and sew custom handmade clothing and wedding dresses for free spirited women all over the world.
Twirl into your dream

Made to Measure
When you place your order, you need to provide your own body measurements, and I will make a garment that fits your unique body.

Impeccable Construction
Impeccable construction, high quality and natural materials, flattering, adaptable designs are the starting points from which my designs take form.

Handmade in Italy
I create each garment from start to finish by hand in my atelier in Italy. It embodies a slow, sustainable, and personal approach to fashion.

How I Work
I create a personal and unique relationship with each client. I aim to create something that has its own story, expresses your personality, and fits you like a glove.
I use durable natural fabrics and materials, allowing you to transform the dress after the wedding into a new piece, time and time again.
I believe in a personal, sustainable vision of wedding dress design that expresses your true self. This is reflected in my creations.

Globally Recognized for Sustainability
Vogue UK has selected me as one of the 8 eco-conscious wedding dress designers they love. I am thrilled and honored by this recognition.

... it can be colorful!
In my vision of a dress, you can express yourself in all ways, even through color! Fabric is our canvas. After years of experience in dyeing and painting on silk fabric, I'm proud to offer a wide range of possible colors, that give each piece a character of its own.
Consider the design and fabrics of the dresses as the foundation, and color as a third element to enhance your dress, whether on the hem or a on a bow or wit a full color gown. Yes, even for a wedding!
My ability to work with color on my creations also gives you the freedom to transform the wedding dress I made for you long after your wedding, giving it a new life and thus making it truly sustainable.

The dress fits just so and the ivory shade is perfection. Thank you so much for tailoring this dress, taking into account everything we had discussed. I look forward to wearing it and will send you some pictures. With love and thanks.
Ashley, USA
I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful dress. It was perfectly light and flowy, and your attention to detail on the stitching, hem, and materials chosen made it even more beautiful than I had anticipated.
Maria, USA
I simply cannot begin to describe how absolutely, otherworldly gorgeous this dress is! Even in the studio photos it was so stunning that I actually cancelled another custom dress I had ordered just to switch to this one for my special day – and I have no regrets!
Ashley, USA
Lucia was so responsive and thorough, and stuck to her timeline – which I was worried would be too short notice – but she came through and I couldn’t be more pleased. It fits perfectly, and is truly my dream dress.
Carlaile, USA
The dress was finished and arrived at exactly the time I was told I would receive it, and It fits me perfectly! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I am looking forward to wearing something I can be sure is one of a kind! Five stars, easily.
Carina, Sweden
Maria Lucia Squillari is a wonderful artist, craftswoman and person. She is very easy to get in touch with and seems to have a natural talent to satisfy her customer. Shipment was safe, fast and my dress came in an elegant box. I felt like a lady opening it!

Physical Fitting are not necessary
When you think about a custom dress, it seems impossible to create one without going to an atelier in person to take measurements, right?
Since day one, I’ve been dedicated to developing dress designs that break those barriers, crafting styles that fit like a glove and enhance the wearer's body. Everything starts with the design, your photos, and a few measurements.
This is why communication and a personal, individual relationship with each client is central.
Since 2007, I've designed dresses for women near and far, all over the world. Let’s set up a call and start chatting about your ideas!
