Haute Couture is Frech, well, of course and it stands for very high fashion which I believe everyone already knows, The word “couture” means hand working, needlework, dress making and haute means high. What we get is “high” dressmaking. Yep, Haute Couture means the finely tailored, artistic, hand sewn and the finest of garments.

Haute Couture is never a dress off the rack, it is a garment that is made for a single person to her exact measurements. Haute Couture is a garment made to fit the woman perfectly with exact measurements of every inch of her body then customized by hand to insure perfection. Since every Haute Couture garment is bought off a model them custom tailored to fit just right, we can see why the Couture gowns carry the price tags that they do. Haute Couture is not mass production, but perfection, artistry, fine crafting and high style, made for the buyer and hopefully treated as other fine art.

Luckily, for many designers, not many people can afford garments of such quality and the clients that can afford such luxury can also afford to spend a buck or two on their bodies as well as personal trainers. Thats why the gowns always look perfect and are normally fitted to the most perfect of celebrity bodies.
