DIANE LELYS

Diane Lelys is a Paris bridalwear brand dedicated to creating made-to-measure wedding dresses that reflect each woman’s personality, story and sense of beauty. The design process begins with a personal conversation, using the bride’s character, hopes and preferences as inspiration. Ideas are explored through research and sketches, then developed into a cotton toile that previews the shape of the finished gown. From there, the creation evolves through fittings and collaboration, leading up to the wedding day.

The brand works with a range of materials, including silk, cotton, linen, wool, leather, lace and pearls. Dresses may be simple or more elaborate, with the aim of expressing the wearer’s individuality while bringing together her dreams, her body and the traditions of marriage in a contemporary way. Diane Lelys welcomes clients by appointment at its intimate boutique at 113 rue du Cherche-Midi, in Paris’s 6th arrondissement. The studio offers a personal setting for discussing and developing a custom bridal dress.
