Kristen Olsen, The Dressmaker Photo by William Clark
Silk Shantung gown, by Kristen Olsen, created for Ema Thoens October 14, 2006, wedding. Shown here with vintage collar and bracelet, brides own. Silk and organza flower, by Mahvash. Pearl ring and Kristen Olsens earrings, both from Gallery 360.
Specialty: I design and make one-of-a-kind couture wedding dresses using the finest fabrics available. I also offer vintage gown restoration or restyling and alterations on brides, bridesmaids, and mother-of-the-bride dresses.
Background: I started my business twenty-six years ago after working at the Guthrie Theater in costume design and as a wardrobe consultant. I found a real niche in the bridal market. Target Customer: Brides who are very discriminating about what they want and are having a hard time finding it. Maybe they want a particular style, color, or size that they aren’t seeing in the stores. Price Range: Handmade silk wedding gowns start at $1,500. How to contact: By appointment only at 3902 W. 50th St., Edina, 952-929-9475, thedressmaker.com
