CUSTOM DESIGN PROCESS

OUR DESIGN PROCESS IS MADE UP OF 7 SIMPLE STEPS.

EMAIL US FOR ALL INQUIRES

FIRST PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

 

  1. THE CONSULTATION

The consultation is the first stage of the design process. This includes a meeting between the client and the designer. A non-fundable consultation fee is paid prior to the meeting. This meeting can be a video call or in person.  During the consultation, the client and the designer will discuss the occasion and the client’s needs.

All clients are expected to thoroughly communicate their design aspirations in detail along with visual references. The designer will then offer her own design expertise to enhance the client’s overall design idea. Once the design is finalized by both parties the process begins.

 

2. THE DESIGN PROCESS

The client will begin given a design proposal and contract to sign. A design proposal will be emailed to the client outlining all the details agreed upon for the order. This document will have all the design references, fabric selections, color choices, and all customizations. The contract agreement will be given to each client outlining the specifics of the gown, pricing, deposits, scheduled timeline, fitting, and policies. 

 

3. THE TIME COMMITMENT

 Please allow at least 3-6 business weeks for most ready-to-wear custom orders.

Please allow at least 6 months for all Bridal Gowns and/or Bridal parties.

Please book accordingly. (excluding weekends and holidays)

 Due to the design complexity, the lead times are subject to change during the design process with notice to the client. 

 

4. THE PAYMENT

Clients can pay in full or pay a deposit.

 70% of the full amount is due prior to the start of the design process

 30% of the remaining amount work order due before garment(s) released to the customer.

*** All clients must book a consultation, that will include sketches, fitting, fabric & trim sourcing, quote, and contract (stated above). Clients will receive a detailed brief of their design.

***Consultation Fee is $75 (non-refundable) payable by invoice.

*** All custom garments under $500 must be paid in full.

*** All rushed garments will require additional payment and may vary depending on the completion date.

***  Please note that under no circumstances will any garments be released without the confirmation of payment.

5. THE FITTINGS

This service is rendered to clients who are able to appear in person at our studio. 2-3 fitting sessions will be scheduled to ensure satisfaction. It is highly recommended to bring all undergarments, shapewear, and shoes for a successful and accurate fitting.

***CLIENTS MUST BE AVAILABLE TO MEET IN PERSON FOR ALL FITTINGS. MEASUREMENTS UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL BE ACCEPTED VIRTUALLY OR TAKEN BY ANOTHER PERSON.  

 

6. THE PICKUP
