Darius Cordell Couture Designs post basic info on off the rack shopping vs made to measure purchasing 

Trying on off the rack clothes are not a good tool to see if a design works or not.

Shopping for a formal dress is not the same as shopping for a blouse or jeans. Formal dresses need to be made for you and your body. And dresses off the rack were not made for you. Therefore sometimes they will look good on the hanger and not look good on you when you try it on.

Understand with any design...instead of using fit or trying on as criteria for looking good on.... better criteria is to say does the dress in the picture cover what I want to cover, and does it show what I want to show. If it does (either with or without changes) then you simply need to have it made according to you individual needs & preferences (again either with or without changes) in your own specific and personal measurements so that it will fit on you how you want, be made according to your specific body shape & hit on your body where you need it to - unlike any other dresses you may have tried on off the rack that did not look good on - which again is because it was not made to your specific body shape but instead in that designers stock sizes.

With our company, you can either.....choose a size from our size chart.....OR.....you can have us make your garment made in your specific personal measurements - which incurs a 15% surcharge.

Also keep in mind that alterations, fittings, modifications, changes or adjustments (for your body), if ever necessary, can be easily done by any one of your local tailors, seamstresses, or alterationist.

About DariusCordell

 

Born and raised in Dallas Texas, Darius moved to Norman Oklahoma in 1987 after graduation from Lake Highlands High School to attend the University of Oklahoma.  It was during this time in college that Darius confirmed it was the world of fashion that was his passion and that he wanted to become a Dallas bridal gown designer of wedding dresses, special occasion evening gowns, and Dallas Dress designer of formal dresses.   


After some moderate local success in Oklahoma, Darius as a new designer decided that he was ready to take his evening gown dress designs to the national level.  It was then, that the marriage of determination, compassion, design, &  fashion sense were perfectly melded into Darius producing his own designer collection of high end formal evening wear gowns.  He introduced his first collection at the Atlanta Apparel Market in October of 1996. This was the beginning of the label "Darius Cordell" taking its rightful place as a contender in the pageant gowns and designer evening dresses arena.  Just over a year later, Darius as a new designer introduced his first collection of informal wedding gowns that has since evolved into a successful line on its own.   


The design firm company, Darius Cordell Couture exhibited designs exclusively only to bridal shops salons boutiques and retail stores for years from a private showroom within the Dallas International Apparel Market as well as other regional wholesale markets in Chicago, Las Vegas and New York.  In 1998 the company relocated back to Darius' native home of Dallas Texas where he has experimented with selling his designs to individuals across the world via the internet as well as to select retail clients in the Dallas Metroplex area via his private studio.  Darius Cordell Designs still offers their designer evening wear and custom bridal gown designs wholesale to retailers for resale via regional markets for even further exposure nationwide.  However the direct consumer response locally to our evening dresses and bridal gowns via mail order through the internet, retail, has been great.  That is why the company has moved their offices to an upscale retail studio showcasing our Dallas bridal gown designers dresses.  We are now open to the public from this new location in Hackberry crossing office park that is located just minutes from the Stonebriar mall in Frisco which is just 25 miles north of Dallas.  


Darius' gown line, with office's in Frisco - near in Dallas Texas, has developed into a sleek and elegant collection of fine custom bridal gowns and social occasion evening wear.  With no formal training and his God given talents, Darius' self titled label "Darius Cordell" is well on its way to becoming a house hold name not just in Dallas Texas but internationally in the fashion world of informal bridal gowns & designer evening wear dresses.
