Thanks for checking out my blog! It means so much to me that you'd take the time to see what I'm up to. This line of dresses was born out of my marriage to my fabulous husband on February 22, 2005. I just couldn't find the right dress, so I designed my own. My husband was so impressed by it, he urged me to start an entire line. Sometimes I swear I was supposed to have lived in the 50's, so I have created my own little fantasy world through these dresses. I also adore the glamour of 30's gowns and the femininity of 40's suits. Here, I will be showing the upcoming designs, real brides in their dresses and keep you posted on upcoming events at the store. I may even mention little discoveries I think a girl just shouldn't live without. Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy!

Not to toot my own horn, but I just had to share this post….it brought tears to my eyes!! This is what I live for!!
“Stephanie is not only one of the most talented designers out there, but she’s got a heart to go along with her talent. Her designs are stunningly brilliant with a big nod to the retro. Rockabilly, offbeat, vintage-inspired, tea-length dress searching brides rejoice! Check out her website for a gallery of her work - the photos are stunning. The vintage designs also lend themselves well to women that are a bit more top heavy - unlike most designer dresses. Woo! And the best part? Her dresses are still reasonably priced. I’m SO glad I found her!
With 4 weeks to go until the big day, I still hadn’t settled on a wedding dress I was in love with. I contacted Stephanie in a manic email asking about her line. She wrote back instantly and calmed my nerves. She would help! Since I couldn’t make it down to the O.C. before my wedding, she agreed to meet me on her own time in S.F. at a bridal shop she hadn’t yet worked with. She hand carried not one but THREE of her dresses for me to try on. I fell in love the instant I put the first one on.
Her dresses not only fit well, but she has her dressmakers measure to your body - and half the cost of what most designers charge. The dresses are flattering to all body types, they have more style than the standard white frocks, and she’s a dream to work with. My dress was exactly what I wanted it to be. Thank you, Stephanie!
I can’t recommend Stephanie James Couture enough!”
