Today I found a way to create the perfect dress and have it made-to-order, all in 10 days. A British company, StyleShake, lets users design their dresses using a simple online program. Choose your fabric, your dress shape, your sleeve length, etc. and they’ll do the sewing. You can also send in your measurements to ensure a perfect fit. Read more
