Sophia Tolli

The Sophia Tolli collection provides an array of gorgeous, show-stopping bridal gowns. Sophia also created a special occasion collection for the Spring 2009 season. Designed in the same vein as her wedding dresses, this line features the same slimming draping, fit and construction Sophia is known for.

A seamstress since her early teens, Sophia grew up surrounded by fabrics, sewing machines and dress patterns. Her aunt, a talented dressmaker, handmade a majority of Sophia’s wardrobe and allowed Sophia to select her own fabrics. Sophia considers this early exposure to dressmaking as the base of her informal education in fashion design. Sophia developed a strong foundation in made-to-measure design by crafting custom prom, bridesmaid’s dresses and bridal gowns in her teens. During college, Sophia challenged traditional sewing techniques and explored alternative methods of dressmaking. Her award-winning expertise in fit and construction is the result of both her childhood experiences and college education.
