There’s a new trend catching attention in the world of simcha wear, and it’s not just about looking fabulous—it’s about feeling great, too. Ladino Couture, a rising star in the world of custom gown design, has introduced a style that blends elegance with comfort in the most seamless way. Picture this: a gown with a stunning, intricate, eye-catching top paired with a more simple, flowing bottom. The result? A balanced, breathtaking look that’s as practical as it is beautiful.
So why are more and more women turning to this two-tone design approach? Designer Ari of Ladino Couture explained: “When the entire dress is made of a heavy, ornate fabric, yes—it’s gorgeous, but it becomes a burden. Our customers want to feel free, to dance, to celebrate without feeling weighed down.”
Ari’s mother, Chavi—also an incredibly talented designer and stylist in her own right—added: “It’s about being realistic. At weddings, during receptions and long ceremonies, women want to move, socialize and enjoy themselves. A lighter dress helps make that happen.”
The concept is simple: Let the top half of the gown shine with sparkles, lace, trims and detailed craftsmanship, while the bottom half brings in balance with a sleeker, more minimalistic touch. The contrast makes a bold, modern statement—rooted in the timeless idea that less is more. And customers are loving it.
This isn’t just about dresses—it’s about the experience. Ladino Couture offers full-service custom gown creation, from start to finish. Customers begin with a consultation—either in the Teaneck studio at 203 W. Englewood Ave. (across from Restaurant Row), in their home, or even in their office. Then comes the fun part: fabric sourcing.
“We’ll go to the fashion district in Manhattan,” Ari shared. “We’ll send photos and videos in real time, sometimes even a video call while standing in the sunlight to show how the fabric really looks. Once you approve, we buy it, and your job is done. No stress.”
Clients can even join the fabric hunt or request samples to be brought to them. Ladino Couture’s team handles fittings, measurements and adjustments with care and professionalism, ensuring a dress that fits like a dream. Whether you’re the bride, mother of the bride or groom, grandmother or part of the bridal party, Ladino Couture creates custom pieces tailored to you.
At the heart of their philosophy is a belief in value. As Ari put it, “Cheap is expensive. You might spend hours running around and still not find the right dress. With us, it’s one-stop shopping, and everything is personalized and perfect from the beginning.”
Ladino Couture isn’t just making dresses—they’re making moments feel effortless. Their fresh take on simcha fashion brings a new level of elegance, comfort and joy to women celebrating life’s biggest milestones.
So next time you’re preparing for a wedding or special event, consider Ladino Couture. Come in for a consultation—and breathe a little easier.
