Set the date to talk about your dress in person or over a video call. We will chat about your desired fit and design details. A pricing quote with payment options will be given.
Step 3: The making process
Dominique will begin making the dress. She will send progress photos and be in touch about how the dress is coming along. Once the design is finished and approved, she will send it to you or do an in-person fitting.

“I had a vision for a crochet dress dripping in pearls,” Sacha says. She did a quick search for LA-based knitters and discovered Dominique Calvillo of Namaste & Crochet. “Dominique’s page was the first I clicked on. It felt like the universe dropped the right person right into my lap. She was so positive, easygoing and wonderful.” Sacha continues: “We worked together to come up with a design by combining elements of samples she had already made—the back of that dress with the front of this top, this skirt, but add a slit, train, ruffle—until we came up with a totally new design. After our initial design meeting, we had one fitting, a few adjustments—more pearls!—and the dress was ready.”
Dominique + Alexis
“Making my own wedding dress was a unique and wonderful experience. I was inspired by the art deco styles of the 1920’s but wanted to capture the romantic and tropical theme of the wedding. I beaded the dress with freshwater pearls, crystals and glass beads.” Read more details about Dominique + Alexis’ wedding on the blog!

Inspired by her own spontaneous elopement, Charmaine of Rose Quartz Cakery dreamt up this bohemian-inspired and earthy elopement that celebrates the very best of sweet summer love. Co-coordinators Wilder Event. Co helped bring this shoot to life by ensuring every detail worked together flawlessly, from the larger-than-life floral designs created by Flower Mama to the vintage boho sweetheart table to the outdoor picnic-inspired cake station that featured a vivid orange cake adorned with crystals. In keeping with the bohemian theme, the bride wore a stunning crocheted wedding dress designed by Namaste & Crochet, to which the team added a custom leather jacket made by Paige Said So to match the groom and to add a non-traditional edge to her look. We can’t get over how romantic and cozy every moment of this elopement shoot was, and Will Khoury Photography captured it all with mind-blowing attention to every detail.

“Dominique made my wedding day dreams come true by making my custom crochet wedding dress! The details in the dress are to die for and she took the time to hand bead the entire dress which elevated it even more! I received so many compliments and I felt like a total goddess! I can not recommend Dominique enough to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime bridal gown!” - Brooklyn
