How it works: Up to 100% Customization


1. We can simply discuss design changes on the current collection we own to come to the desired look. Assume we need 7 weeks from order to delivery.
2. We can see possible design you have in mind or you have already drawn and we can check feasibility & fabric options to provide a cost estimation for. Assume we need 8 weeks from order to delivery.
​3. We can start together from scratch designing bespoke dress. You can share with us a photo of your body type, the concept you have thought for your wedding and we can provide a tailored design for you. Then we can check for fabrics and provide a cost estimation to discuss together. Assume that we need to have at least 10 weeks before the big day to make sure there is available time for all the handmade process.
