All women know that finding the perfect wedding dress can be as elusive as finding that perfect man to walk down the aisle with. And since sewing is most definitely a thing of the past, most women opt to have their most special dress sewn by designer couturiers. However, Chinese 3D printing specialists, Xuberance, a specialist company in China wishes to make that a thing of the past too. Heralding the end of bridal dreams that are filled with anticipation of a Vera Wang, Chanel or an Oscar de la Renta gown, Xuberance brings to the bridal fashion scene 3D printed wedding dresses.

Made using advanced technology and nylon powder, these wedding gowns have intricate designs and can give exquisite traditional wedding couture a run for their money. The process deployed in the making of these novel creations is called SLS (Selective Laser Sintering). The dress fabric is constructed by using lasers to fuse together the nylon powder, slowly building up the layers and design. Xuberance, who hithertofore created hair pins, ties, jewelry, and home accessories using the same technology, aims to change the face of bridal fashion in the world. Signaling a complete change in the way fashion would henceforth be perceived, the designers vouch for the creations being comfortable, durable, and soft to touch!! The time involved, though, in getting an exquisite 3D gown ready is one week.

Not unless you are willing to shell out the premium price tag these gowns come with. As with all haute couture bridal designers, these gowns have also been displayed with a ‘price on request’ tag. And given the specialist process and considerable time that goes into the making of these unique wedding dresses, one can safely assume that the prices aren’t likely to be anywhere in the ‘affordable’ range for most. Just a bridal veil, with an intricate pattern is expected to retail at 20,000 Chinese yuan (approximately £2167.35).
