Margo West is a Dallas wedding gown designer located in the Design District Dallas.   Margo has had a burning desire for fashion and design since she was nine years old. Her mother sewed and made clothes for the entire family. At nine years old Margo and her sister Lisa began designing and making their own clothes for themselves and other family members. It was our favorite past-time.  Lisa is still working alongside Margo, even today. Their mother made sure that they both took a few formal classes while growing up to learn the basic concept needed for proper construction and fit. Margo considers her talent a gift from God, and sewing was always easy, fun, and exciting. She has been driven and passionate about design since she was a little girl. She received her first sewing machine at nine years old and still has that same desire to create and design beautiful dresses and gowns. Margo had her first opportunity to sew bridal gowns and formals as an apprentice in high school. There she was able to participate in the design and construction process of Bridal gowns, formals, and Tuxedos. Today, Margo is the creative director and founder of her own bridal gown company, Margo West Bridal.

After graduating high school, Margo served in the U.S. Army but soon realized that it would not be the career path that was chosen for her.  A few years later, she found that path,  she wanted to work with her hands and use her natural talent for creativity to carve out a living for herself and her daughter who was 2 years old by this time. She worked for a department store during the day, took classes in the evening, and worked a job as a waitress at night. Sewing had to take a back seat to make a living and was not what she had envisioned for herself.” I remember telling my mother that I would have to choose a different career path or go full-time to college”. There was hardly any time for sleep and never enough money.  I can see her face today as she looked at me and said ” Margo if you do what you love, then the money will come” Her statement and the timing of it was what I needed to hear at that exact moment. Her words were very instrumental in my success helped to catapult Margo West Bridal into existence.

Our craft is rooted in tradition with a modern twist. Each wedding collection is designed, by founder Margo West and every detail is a collaborative effort with a team of highly talented wedding gown designers, artists, and sewers. Each dress is made exclusively for the bride who will wear it. Every bride is unique and so should her dress be. Your style, your way is what we are about. Choosing the right style of dress, wedding jumpsuit, or pantsuit for your body type is more important than you think. keep in mind that ordering your wedding outfit does not guarantee that it will be a perfect fit for you. For so many brides and bridesmaids, it is more common than not to need some adjustments to make your wedding gown, jumpsuit, or pantsuit aisle ready.  An alteration professional will be able to help you get the perfect fit for your big day.

Getting to know our brides and their personality plays an integral role in how their gown will look and feel on your wedding day. Today brides are looking for more versatility and wanting to change their look to match their mood throughout the day and night. A bridal Jumpsuit with a modern feel or two-piece pants and top will be perfect for your engagement party, rehearsal dinner, and wedding reception, and a great addition to your wedding event.   Our line chic of wedding jumpsuits and two 2 piece bridal dresses are some of our most popular items right now for our brides. Margo is passionate about making sure that each and every bride is comfortable and feels amazing on her wedding day. We can create your wardrobe for your entire celebration.

Choosing the right wedding gown  for your body type is key. It is so easy to find the perfect wedding gown online, so you think. Wedding salon professionals are able to guide you to the right wedding dress for your body type within your budget.  Deciding to forego the bridal salon could cost you more money in the end if it doesn’t work out.
 If you choose to go the custom gown design route for your wedding wardrobe, your designer can guide you every step of the way. Every small detail will be approved by you. Margo, your wedding dress designer will help in choosing the right gown for your body type and personality making sure that the gown compliments your style,  event, and venue. Our brides play an important role in her choice of fabrics, trims, beads, and stones, etc. We love working in collaboration with our brides to make the one-of-kind bridal gown of her dreams. We also recreate wedding gowns from images of lost heirlooms and sentimental pieces.  A custom couture wedding gown and veil is something you will treasure for a lifetime.

My most favorite wedding accessory for the bride is her veil. The veil completes the entire look, fully dressed and ready for the aisle. Veils will enhance almost any wedding dress. Choosing the right veil for your dress and body type is important. Veils come in standard lengths and widths. Even though these sizes will fit most, there are brides who may need custom sizing or alterations for their bridal veil.  Balancing the veil, the bride, and her gown is key.  The veil should not be too skimpy or overpowering. Salon experts can guide you to the perfect choice when it comes to deciding which veil to wear with your gown. Here at Margo West, we can create the perfect custom bridal veil to match your beautiful wedding dress.
