Utilizing her mastery in the understanding of the fashion industry, fashion designer Ali Eagen has opened her own custom bridal shop, taught at Buffalo State University, and co-founded a bridal organization called Buffalo Indie Weddings.
Ali’s journey into the world of fashion commenced when she began working at Abercrombie & Fitch as a sweater designer following her graduation from the esteemed Fashion Institute of Technology in 2007. After realizing that the corporate fashion industry did not suit her, Ali dreamed of creating a space to express her true artistic freedom. In order to pursue this ambition, she moved back to her hometown of Buffalo to open Made by Anatomy.
Made by Anatomy, founded in 2010, adopts a contemporary approach to wedding attire. Services and offerings including, vintage wedding gown reconstruction, alterations, custom wedding veils and heirloom robes and gifts. Anatomy also provides day-of valet service such as steaming the gown, assisting with bridal party, and confirming that everything runs smoothly.
The primary mission of Made by Anatomy is to ensure the dresses not only complement the woman but also resonate with her unique personality.
