I Double-glove city wedding look

A studio,
not a shop.

There are no racks of sameness here. Every dress, veil and cape is an original Mags Morgan design, cut to your measurements and made by specialist ateliers in small numbers. You come to the studio to try shapes on your own body, not to choose from stock. Then the piece is made for you.

  1. Original

    An existing Mizz Rio design, made to your measurements in your preferred fabric and finish.

    8–10 months

  2. Customised

    A Mizz Rio design with the details adapted around you: neckline, sleeve, length, colour, structure.

    10–12 months

  3. Bespoke

    A look that does not exist yet, developed one-to-one with Mags from a first conversation to the final fitting.

    12–18 months
