The Samantha Covey Studio

Modesty is not added later. It shapes the garment from the start.

Samantha Covey creates custom bridal and eveningwear for women who want coverage, polish, and a garment that feels fully designed rather than altered into modesty after the fact.

After you request an appointment, Samantha follows up by phone within one business day to discuss whether the project is a fit.

Devon Studio

Private appointments at the Devon studio.

After you request an appointment, Samantha follows up by phone within one business day to discuss whether the project is a fit.

The Process

Let's design your dream dress.

Step 1

Schedule an appointment

You'll first meet with me so we can discuss your needs. Whether you already have a specific vision or are seeking some direction, I'm here to guide you through the process.

Step 2

Choosing the design

In our appointment, we will have you try on various looks, discuss fabric options, take your measurements, and explore different silhouettes. I will then use this information to design several concepts for you to choose from.

Step 3

Development and refinement

I'll work with our Italian atelier to bring your chosen design to life, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail. Once complete, we will have a final fitting to ensure the garment meets your expectations.

Questions Before You Request

Clear answers for a custom garment decision.

Is Samantha Covey a fit for Baltimore clients?

For Baltimore clients, the process begins with enough detail to make the in-person trip purposeful: your event, timeline, budget, modesty standards, and design references.

Do I need to know exactly what I want before requesting?

No. Inspiration photos, ceremony details, fabric preferences, and notes about what you do not want are enough to begin. Samantha helps translate those references into a garment direction.

Can you design around specific modesty requirements?

Yes. Coverage can be discussed from the beginning, including sleeve length, neckline, back coverage, lining, opacity, movement, undergarments, and ceremony or community expectations.

How long does a custom wedding dress take?

A custom wedding dress typically has a 2-3 month turnaround. A 1-month rush is available for a fee.

Are appointments virtual?

Appointments are typically in person at the Devon studio. If your project has unusual travel or timing constraints, include those details in the request so Samantha can advise on the best next step.
