The Magic of Personalized Bridal Gowns: Weilu Fresolone’s Vision
*
A special limited miniseries presented by | NYBM 2023: Interviews with the designers & brands
*
Growing up in western China, I lived with my grandparents. I learned basic sewing skills from my grandma. At a very young age, she taught me how to thread a needle and tie a knot. My passion for dressmaking started at that time.

After graduating from college with a fashion design degree, I moved across the planet as a newlywed with my husband and started our life and career in New York. My first job in America was as a cashier at a grocery store near my in-laws house. I took a second job simultaneously with a larger chain bridal gown store where I did alterations. I was very lucky and was given an opportunity to train alongside with the designer at a local atelier, creating one-of-a-kind custom dresses from start to finish. I immediately fell in love with the process, and it became crystal clear to me that my artistic design passion lies in bridal and formal wear. After working for a couple of well known designers in New York City, I sharpened my skills in dressmaking and eye for the perfect fit. Now, I have my own atelier doing what I truly love.

favorite part of the job is crafting dresses and formal wear for an event that is so meaningful to our clients and making them happy.
