  • Patent number: 5680652
    Abstract: A wedding dress design kit which enables a wide variety of wedding dress designs to be created from a relatively small number of dress components. The present invention provides a kit which can be used by bridal shops to create customized wedding dresses without the need of maintaining an expensive inventory of single-sized wedding dresses. The present invention provides a kit comprised of a number of differently shaped bodices, a number of differently shaped sleeves, a number of differently shaped skirts, and a number of differently shaped trains. Each bodice, sleeve, skirt, and train is provided with a mechanism for adjusting the respective dimensions of each piece so that regardless of the size of the bride attempting to try the dresses on, the component parts will be able to be adjusted to fit each bride.
