5 out of 5 starsI have been admiring this for a very long time. Finally, I decided to cave in and purchase this as a treat for myself and, oh my goodness, I do not regret this purchase. I didn’t think it was possible for this to be more beautiful than the photos, but in person? There are no words. I absolutely love it. Thank you drapedinelan for sharing your amazing creations with us and putting so much care into every stitch.

5 out of 5 starsFrom the moment you open the box , you can tell the Apron is quality. Looking over the piece you can see that no corners were cut, and that great care was put into the making of this unique piece. Much thanks to the creator, I have no issues recommending someone if they are looking for an apron like this. 👍

4 out of 5 starsGorgeous all the way around. 3 1/2 stars. I would say 5 stars but, because the embroidery was no where to be found but a glob on the end of strap, I found to be very awkward. I really wish it had my last name, was a very special gift to my beloved personal cheff.

5 out of 5 starsSimply stunning!!!!! Very well sewn together and perfectly soft tulle used. Customer service and communication is beyond praiseworthy! I purchased for a bridal shower gift, but honestly I want to return and purchase one of my own in the near future. This piece is sure to cause a stir in the kitchen between the future Mrs. & Mr. Lol!

5 out of 5 starsThis was absolutely perfect! I wanted to add some color and volume to my traditional white dress, and so I purchased an extra volume grey colored skirt to layer on top of the dress as my wedding colors are navy and grey. It looks absolutely beautiful and I’m even more excited for my wedding day!

Greetings, darlings!
My name is Choya, the self-taught designer & owner | creator of {draped in} élan (ey-lahn), Apron Couture - based in Buckhead x Atlanta, GA.
My story begins with a necessary Sewing 101 course in Undergrad, and a serious lack of desire to learn how to sew {my interest was always in wardrobe styling}. Having almost failed that sewing class due to my frustration with following patterns, but knowing in my heart that I could do it, a new desire was sparked to learn how to sew...but on my own terms.
I started with a simple see & sew apron pattern, but still found myself frustrated with the tediousness of it all. I decided to scratch the whole pre-made pattern thing, and give it another go by way of "draping" - manipulating the fabric directly on my dress form as i went along. The ideas, and passion for my new found *skill* grew daily, and from that, {draped in} élan was born!
*****
These days, I enjoy creating one-of-a-kind pieces for industry professionals, brides-to-be, sassy ladies, and dapper gents, alike. My creations are "Nothing Like Your Ordinary", as each design is brought to life from an original D.I.E. pattern. Idealized from concept to completion, and constructed with strict attention to detail by me, I fall in love all over again with every new opportunity to create something special for each and every one of my clients, new & loyal!
{draped in} élan pieces are designed to be noticed. To stand out! I believe in using only the highest quality materials, those of which have been inspected & selected with tender love & care. Whether purchasing for yourself, or as a gift for a loved one, your new D.I.E. investment is sure to WOW with its heirloom quality. Each piece is created to bring that #HappyFeeling each & every time it's draped on...no matter the occasion.
The {draped in} élan Apron Couture Collection is ideal for:
- His & Her wedding gifts
- Hosting dinner parties & small gatherings
- Unique Small Businesses
- Gifting yourself (because let's just face it, you deserve it!)
- Sashaying around the house to ones favorite tunes
- etc.
All pieces are designed and handcrafted by me in my pet and smoke free home studio.
Should you have any additional inquiries, or find yourself ready to get started on a custom order, contact me today!
Thanks again for stopping by to check out my shop, darling. Enjoy!
