Have you ever wondered how our stunning Deco Haus dresses come to life? Join us as we pull back the curtain and explore the process of how we create our award-winning pieces.

Design Inspiration

At Deco Haus, our designs begin with a single spark.…..an old photo, a vintage color palette, an ethereal piece from an estate collection….

Our designers transform these glimpses of the past into a concept, capturing the glamor of a bygone era through timeless styles. Each vision is paired with Art Deco motifs and vintage Hollywood elegance, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that blend past and present.

Sketching

Once a concept takes shape, our designers begin to work alongside our sketch artist. Together they develop a rough outline for the gown, which gets refined by our team until it’s nothing short of perfect. Meanwhile, extensive research is done to guarantee that the design is not only beautiful and wearable, but historically accurate. Throughout this process, our owner provides valuable feedback to ensure that every piece aligns with the Deco Haus vision. When she approves, it’s go-time!

Materials and Pattern Making

No matter how wonderful a concept may be, it can’t come to life without the right materials and a team to put it all together. For over a decade, we’ve worked alongside an experienced group of fabric manufacturers to develop exquisite textiles and beading for our gowns. We aim to replicate the original materials of the 1920s and 30s, while enhancing them for comfort and ease-of-care. From shimmering sequins to flowing chiffon, every component is handpicked to bring the design to life.

Handcrafted Construction

After our fabrics are selected, our skilled pattern makers transform the original sketch into a full-size pattern. This pattern is then carefully transferred onto tracing paper, and then onto mesh stretched across a wooden frame.
Our expert beaders take over from here, applying intricate beadwork to the mesh, a process that typically takes 3-4 weeks to complete. Each dress is then cut, sewn, and finished by hand- every detail crafted with the utmost care and precision.

The Finished Product

Before a Deco Haus dress makes its way to you, it undergoes rigorous quality control checks. Each seam is inspected and every bead is double-checked to ensure it meets our standards. Only the crème de la crème of our creations makes it through this final step before embarking on their journey to you!

So the next time you slip into a Deco Haus dress, remember the passion and craftsmanship poured into your stunning piece. Every design is a labor of love, and a wearable work of art to be cherished for generations.
