You spend hours looking for the perfect bridesmaid dress<\/a> that fits the required theme, color scheme, and your own personal style for the wedding day<\/a>! And when you finally find it, you get all excited and can\u2019t wait for it to arrive!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever wonder what it takes to get that dress from design to production to when it finally arrives on your doorstep? We\u2019re taking you behind the scenes of the Azazie process!<\/span><\/p>\n

Design<\/b><\/p>\n

The Azazie process starts with trend research. \u201cI look at what is currently selling well in our line and try to figure out why I think that is. \u00a0I look at couture runway shows for inspiration, to see what recurring themes I can pull out to get a sense of the trends for that season,\u201d said Lindsey, our in-house designer. Other things like customer feedback on current designs and what customers feel like we are lacking are also taken into consideration. These designs are then sketched out. The old-fashioned way; pencil on paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Customer Feedback<\/b><\/p>\n

At Azazie, we highly value customer feedback. Therefore, after the initial sketches are done, we send out a survey that allows our newsletter subscribers to vote on their favorite styles! If you\u2019re interested in participating, subscribe to our newsletter <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. The top styles are then used to create a \u201ctech pack,\u201d which is put together by the designer and includes a sketch of the sample as well as a breakdown of the sewing details. This helps our production warehouse turn the sketch into an actual garment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fitting<\/b><\/p>\n

Once the prototype of the dress gets approved, a first sample is sent for the fitting process. At Azazie, we value a consistent fit. All our dresses are put on live fit models in our design studio. Adjustments are made to the fit of the gown, and then a revised sample is requested with the changes made. This process repeats until the fit is perfect and the gown is ready to be put online. Cue the credit card!<\/span><\/p>\n

Shipping<\/b><\/p>\n

Once the dress is online, they\u2019re available for purchase! All our dresses are made-to-order; currently, you can find our up-to-date production times here<\/a>. After they\u2019re made in our warehouse in China, they pass certain quality control inspections and are over to our offices in Milpitas, CA where they\u2019re then shipped out to you!<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep in touch with the latest designs and news by subscribing to our newsletter <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. If you have any questions,<\/span> about Azazie, including dress styles, fit, or ordering, please feel free to reach out to our wonderful team of Stylists. They are available Monday to Sunday, 7 AM to 7 PM PST at (618) 742-3059, live chat, or email at customerservice@azazie.com! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
