Adele Fabiano Bridal Couture

Working with Adele was the best part of planning our wedding!
I found a dress in the store that I really liked the back on, but I hated the bottom. I found her on Unilocal,and am forever thankful to Unilocal for this! We went back and forth via email with a few of her beautiful sketches which blew me away. Then when I met her and saw her work, I knew I wanted to work with her. She does everything by hand, so the beauty of the material (especially tulle) is unlike anything you will find in stores. I am size 0, and she made the dress to fit me perfectly. I felt like a princess in her gown! I didn’t want to take it off at the end of the night, and all our guests gasped at the beauty of it.
Not only is she an amazing artist, but she is one of the kindest people you will ever meet; not what you would expect of someone with her talent! You will not regret meeting with her, that’s for sure!

I initially wrote a review after meeting Adele for the first time because it was such an amazing experience. Needless to say, I got my gown from Adele and I never felt so beautiful. The gown not only felt like it was made JUST for me, but it was comfortable to be in. Her designs are not only beautiful and fabulous, but they are priced very well. Not only that, Adele will work with you on finding your perfect dress if you are on a budget. Truly, there aren’t any words to express how happy and satisfied I was at the end of this process. Most importantly – it must be said – Adele is such a sweet and kind woman. My wish is that every bride-​to-​be can have the same experience I did.

I truly feel so lucky to have found Adele! She was able to make the dress of my dreams and I can’t thank her enough. Besides being a talented designer she is also the nicest person ever. It is so easy to become so stressed out while planning a wedding but working with Adele put me at ease. She is so good at her job that I was never once worried about how my dress would turn out. It ended up turning out even more beautiful than I could ever imagine! She is so accommodating and the most professional vendor I have worked with so far for my wedding. She was able to give me the best suggestions for details for my dress without ever being overbearing at all. She has the most amazing ideas and really knows what she is doing. I can not say enough great things about her because she is absolutely amazing!

We have had the pleasure of working with Adele in creating WALLTAT wall decals for her trade show booth this past fall at the National Bridal Market in Chicago. Her bridal gown collections and belt creations are breathtakingly beautiful. I have never seen hand-​made couture dresses for those prices anywhere! She is one of the easiest people that I have ever worked with and same goes for her kindness and dedication to her craft. I only wish I had worn one of her dresses down the aisle at my wedding back in 2008. I can only hope she works up a cocktail dress collection sometime in the future. Until then, bravo Adele. You are one of the greatest wedding dress designers on the market today. Chicago is lucky to be able to call you their own.

I have never felt more beautiful as I did on my wedding day, and much of the credit needs to be given to Adele Fabiano, who designed my gown. Honestly, I had so many MEN of all ages come up to me at my wedding and tell me that they thought my dress was the most classy, elegant gown they’d ever seen — and that speaks most loudly to the fact that Adele’s designs are timeless and appeals to everyone.
Adele is the most amazingly artistic and talented designer, and on top of that, she is professional and a very sweet, caring person. I worked with her to create the dress of my dreams — a sophisticated, elegant, one of a kind gown that cost the same as a David’s Bridal dress — and could not have been happier. To break this down for future brides to be — you are getting a tailor-​made gown (no alterations needed, it’s made to your measurements) that YOU have a say in designing one-​on-​one a wonderful designer in her own studio, with custom-​made accessories, and the most personalized service you could ever wish for. No dealing with snobby sales reps, trying on oversized, dirty samples, ordering 8 months in advance… Adele singlehandedly made me LOVE the entire process of picking my gown — and she made it FUN! :)
When I first met Adele at the studio, her patient, kind and friendly demeanor relaxed me, and when I tried on my dress, I knew it was «the one». Meanwhile, Adele was pinning the dress to fit, playing with accessories, helping me with different custom-​made belts and talking me through her creative process. She basically picked up some fabric and somehow made some flowers to pin on the dress in the most unique way while I was wearing it. She is truly an artist.
Every bride to be deserves the level of service, professionalism — and most of all a most gorgeous unique gown! — that Adele has to offer.

Adele made me the single most important item of clothing I will ever wear in my life: my wedding gown. And I couldn’t have had a more delightful experience working with her, or bought a gown that was more perfect for me even if I paid 1,000 times the price. This is because Adele is a true artist and a consummate professional. She put me at ease from the very beginning of the process with her receptiveness, intuition, excellent communication skills and fabulous rendering. Once we had chosen a sketch to work from and she began making my dress, I saw that she was also an extremely skilled seamstress and had a keen eye for detail. The final product was perfection. I feel like I was born to wear the gown she made me. I cannot recommend her more highly in your search for the perfect dress.
As a footnote, after seeing my wedding gown, two of my friends hired her to make their own gowns. Both of which are stunning.
