STEP 1: â€‹INFORMATION

Reach out to me on Instagram or send me an email with as much information as you can provide regarding the the kind of dress you're looking for, the event if applicable, and any inspiration images you may have.

​

 

STEP 2: DISCUSSION

Once we've discussed the details of your dress via messaging or a phone/video call and I understand the vision of what you're looking for, I'll request $50 to design and sketch your custom dress

​

STEP 3: â€‹SKETCHING

Within 48 hours of your payment, I will deliver your custom design sketch. Once you receive it, we can discuss any changes you'd like to see. I include one set of revisions in the initial price, and any after that are $25 per additional iteration.

​

STEP 4: INITIAL PAYMENT

Once we have landed on a final design, I will provide a final price quote. I require half of this price up front so I'm able to buy materials.

​

Step 5: MATERIALS 

I will then source the fabric, sending you photos and getting confirmation before making any purchases.

​

Step 6: MEASUREMENTS

At this point in the process, I'll need your measurements. It important these are accurate so I can achieve the perfect fit, but if you have any questions on how to get these, I'm happy to help.

​

Step 7: CREATING

Over the next few weeks, I'll be patterning, prototyping, and sewing your dress, sending progress photos throughout the process.

​

Step 8: FINAL PAYMENT & SHIPPING

Upon completion of your dress, I'll send photos of the final garment. I then require the remaining half of the payment and can ship your dress to you as soon as I receive it.​

​

If you have any questions about the process, please reach out to me via email or through my Instagram DM's.

SOME THINGS TO NOTE:
 

- While I am more than open to inspiration images, out of respect to other designers, I am unable to directly copy an existing design

​

- Although I market dresses primarily, I am open to creating anything you have in mind including tops, jumpsuits, outerwear, or anything else you might dream up!

​

Because your dress will be specific to you and your measurements, I am unable to accept returns or refunds

​

- Because all dresses are handmade by myself, my turnaround time is 6-8 weeks, if your event is sooner than this window however- still reach out and I'll see what I can do.

​

- I am happy to ship internationally which will incur an additional shipping/customs fees. and the turnaround time 2 weeks longer

COSTING INFO:

All custom dresses are made by myself, by hand, from the sketching to the patterning, prototyping, and sewing of the final design. 

​

The quality of construction and materials are guaranteed with the price that you pay.

​

Because the cost is largely dependent on the material you choose and the complexity of the final design, I can only give an exact cost after we have landed on a final design.

​

Depending on the design, the prices may fluctuate but as a starting point of reference, the prices are listed below:

​

Mini dresses : $300-$600

​

Midi Dresses : $600-$800

​

Maxi Dresses : $800-1,500
