Your evening.
Your signature.
A gown begins with your personality. We give it form.
Begin your gown ↗
Perhaps a gala is approaching. Perhaps a concert where you will take the stage. We design your gown for that moment, and for the way you want to move and feel in it.
FRILISA is an independent couture house in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. Our bespoke evening gowns are worn around the world. With Nocturne, we bring personal design together with the craftsmanship of our house. From the initial idea and individual pattern to the fittings, your gown takes shape in our Berlin atelier.
Sheer tulle, a defined waist, a sweeping skirt. Your silhouette takes shape through the interplay of fabric, cut and proportion.
For a film premiere, an awards ceremony or a reception, we design a gown that expresses your personality. Silhouette, neckline and fabric are considered together with your occasion. During fittings, we also look at how the gown moves as you walk, sit and pose.
An evening gown should feel right for both you and the occasion. For a gala, opera ball or special evening of dancing, we develop proportions, skirt volume and length with you. Your bespoke ball gown has its own pattern, with fabric and construction chosen to suit your wishes and budget.
On stage, freedom of movement matters as much as visual presence. For singers and musicians, we consider posture, arm movements and the demands of the performance. A bespoke concert gown brings your artistic expression together with a carefully refined fit.
AI modifiedOne possible direction.
Your design begins in conversation.
Larissa Fromm guides you from your first conversation to your fittings. In our Berlin atelier, your ideas become a personal design.
Bring your occasion and your wishes. We explore silhouettes, choose fabrics and develop a direction together. You do not need to arrive with a finished idea.
Your pattern is drawn to your measurements. Neckline, sleeves and the sweep of the skirt become part of a composition made for you.
We consider your gown as you stand, sit and move. Through your fittings, we refine the fit and length around you and your shoes.
Intricate appliqués and hand-worked embroidery give our gowns depth and a distinctive texture. Motif by motif, stitch by stitch, a composition emerges that follows the lines of the gown.
The most elaborate creations may involve 200 to 300 hours of handwork. Time revealed in the finest details — and in the craftsmanship you feel when wearing the gown.
Deep burgundy, faceted glass beads and a shimmer that changes with every movement. This bag brings a distinctive accent to your evening wardrobe.
Our glass-bead bags are handmade at FRILISA. From the body to the beaded handle, their clean shape is brought to life by the play of light.

Larissa Fromm is a fashion designer and a graduate of Berlin University of the Arts. She learned the foundations of dressmaking from her mother, Polina Schneider, an experienced pattern cutter who continues to work in the FRILISA atelier.
This combination of design education and knowledge passed down through the family shapes each gown. Ms Fromm develops the design and guides its creation in close conversation with you.
