Question 1

Why choose a custom-made garment?

Accepted Answer

A custom garment offers unparalleled benefits. It is designed exclusively for you, ensuring a perfect fit and allowing you to showcase your unique style. Opting for a high-quality custom piece is more sustainable than purchasing multiple lower-quality items. Moreover, the process of designing your own garment is an enjoyable and creative experience.

Question 2

What should I expect from the custom couture process?

Accepted Answer

(For detailed information, please refer to our PDF document).
​
The process may vary slightly depending on whether you choose to pick up your gown in person or have it shipped to you.

The journey begins with open communication. After submitting our appointment form, we'll arrange a design consultation to discuss your ideas and ensure we understand your vision. We'll cover style, colours, budget, materials, and fit. Following this, you'll receive sketches, and once you choose your favourite design, we'll provide you with a quote.

To secure your order, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required. From there, you sit back and wait while our seamstresses get to work on your dress! Depending on the complexity of the garment, we'll schedule a few fittings to ensure a perfect fit (typically 2 - 3).

Question 4

When should I book my appointment?

Accepted Answer

How long does it take to create a custom dress? 
Custom garment creation times vary depending on the type of garment.

Bridal:
For bridal garments, rush orders can be completed in as little as 6 weeks, depending on the style and our workload during the season. However, to achieve the best results, we recommend allowing a minimum of 3 months.

Other:
For other types of garments (evening gowns, cocktail dresses, etc), rush orders can be completed in as short as 2 weeks! However, we strongly advise contacting us at least 6 weeks in advance for optimal results. The earlier you reach out to us, the more time we have to assist you in selecting fabric samples, scheduling fittings for a perfect fit, and paying attention to every detail.

Note: Rush orders may come with an added cost.

Question 5

Is the process the same for bridal and other custom garments?

Accepted Answer

The process for bridal and other custom garments is similar but may have slight variations.

For both bridal and other custom garments, we begin with open communication and a consultation to understand your vision, style preferences, and desired budget. We discuss colours, materials, and fit to ensure we capture your unique vision.

After the initial consultation, we provide sketches for your review. Once you choose your preferred design, we provide a quote for the garment.

For both bridal and other custom garments, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your order. 
From there, we move forward with the creation process.

However, there may be some differences in terms of fittings and timelines. Bridal garments often require more fittings to achieve the perfect fit, and the timeline may be influenced by the wedding date. Other custom garments may have fewer fittings depending on their complexity.

In summary, while the process for both bridal and other custom garments follows a similar structure of consultation, design selection, and deposit, there may be some variations in fittings and timelines based on the specific requirements of each garment.

Question 6

Can I request rush orders for custom garments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we understand that sometimes you may have time constraints or special occasions that require a quick turnaround. We offer rush order services for custom garments to accommodate such situations.

Please keep in mind that rush orders are subject to availability and additional fees may apply. The feasibility of a rush order depends on factors such as the complexity of the design, availability of materials, and our current production schedule.

If you require a rush order, please contact us as soon as possible to discuss your timeline and requirements. We will make every effort to accommodate your request and provide you with an estimated timeline and any associated costs.

Please note that rush orders may have limited design options or alterations due to the condensed production schedule. However, we strive to ensure that the quality and craftsmanship of your custom garment are not compromised, even with a shorter timeframe.

Book an appointment with us and let us know about your rush order request. We will work closely with you to create a beautiful custom garment that meets your needs, even within a tight timeframe.
