# How making an evening dress differs from making a wedding dress

A comparison of making evening and wedding dresses: fabrics, construction, timings and cost.

Category: [Вечерние](https://en.freyawedding.ru/blog/vechernie)

We make both wedding and evening dresses, and people often ask what the difference is. Here it is.

## Construction and volume

A wedding dress is usually the more complex of the two: a corset, a voluminous skirt, a train, layers. An evening dress is normally simpler in construction but can be bolder in cut - deep necklines, slits, an open back.

## Fabrics and colour

Wedding dresses live mostly in a pale range (ivory, milk, powder). Evening dresses have a wider palette: from black and emerald to burgundy and metallics. The fabrics overlap in part (satin, silk, lace), but for evening we more often use velvet, crepe and embroidered fabrics.

## Timings

Because the construction is simpler, an evening dress usually takes less time than a wedding one - but the exact timing depends on the design. We wrote about wedding dress timings [separately](/blog/protsess/skolko-shyetsya-svadebnoe-platye).

## Cost

The principle is the same: labour and fabrics counted separately, the price fixed in the contract. At equal complexity an evening dress often comes out more affordable than a wedding one, because there is less work and less material.

> We make both from scratch to your measurements, with the same attention to fit and detail.

You can see our work in the [collection](/collections) and the [gallery](/gallery), and talk your own dress through at a [consultation](/#booking).
