Lara Sims

Originally from Orange County, California, I drove across the country to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design, and graduated with a BFA in Fashion. I learned the arts of pattern making, draping, design and sewing construction.

I created my first custom wedding gown for a Savannah bride in 2012, soon after my graduation. It was through this experience working one-on-one with my client that I fell in love with the custom process. Since then, I continued to refine my skills creating custom gowns, and began my alterations specialties in 2014. Folklore Dress Studio was founded in Los Angeles in 2017. I currently works out of my studio in Pasadena, California.
