Welcome to Bentley + Lace
Award-Winning Couture Designs.
Designed for portraits, celebrations, and heirloom-worthy memories.
THE ART OF CUSTOM COUTURE
Each Bentley + Lace custom gown begins with a vision—yours. Whether you’re styling for a milestone, a celebration, or an heirloom keepsake, we collaborate with you to create a piece that feels personal, intentional, and unforgettable.
We hand-select couture fabrics, curate custom color stories, and design silhouettes that flatter children, teens, and adults. From soft tulle to luxe satin and 3D appliqués, every element is chosen with purpose.
No mass production. No shortcuts.
Each gown is individually patterned, sewn, layered, and finished with couture precision in our Texas studio.
Why Custom Couture Matters
In a world of fast fashion and disposable trends, Bentley + Lace honors craftsmanship, longevity, and meaningful moments. Each gown is designed with purpose, handcrafted with care, and created to be treasured, photographed, and remembered for years to come.

Slow Fashion, Always
We believe in less waste and more meaning. Each couture design is thoughtfully made, using high-quality materials meant to last and be loved again and again.
Couture Quality Over Quantity
Hand-pleated tulle, hand-sewn appliqués, luxury fabrics, and decades of craftsmanship go into every piece. We create gowns that tell a story—not trends that expire.
Designed for Generations
Whether rented or custom-made, our gowns are created to be cherished, photographed, shared, re-worn, and passed down. Beauty should be sustainable, and full of heart.
