This varies depending on the style of gown you have chosen. Surprisingly, because our gowns are made in New York, we can turn designs around within a few months, sometimes few weeks, but generally you should expect to wait between 4-6 months for made-to-order styles and and 8-10 months for custom made dresses. Remember to allow time for adjustments and minor alterations, so it’s good to have the buffer of a year before your wedding date.
You need to bring the exact underwear that you will be wearing on the day (we design your gown to fit around it), and also the same heel height so that we can adjust the length accordingly.
Our gowns are made-to-order or fully custom-made to the initial measurements that we take at your first appointment. Weight fluctuations will have an impact on the design process, and we always advise that it’s best to wait until your are ‘body ready’. We offer a special service for brides in weight loss journey. Depending on the date of your wedding, we need to agree a deadline to take your body measurements, which we would then use to construct your paper pattern for your fittings. There will be an additional fee on your gown if there has been a large weight change resulting in significant alterations .
Normally you will have two to three fittings to complete the design and development of your dress. If any changes are made resulting in further cutting, an additional fitting would be needed to make sure that you are happy to proceed to the next stage.
