FAQ
Dress Making Process
Q: How long does it take to make a dress?
A: Typically evening gowns take 2 months to design and create, depending on current demand and production time this time can increase. Wedding gowns normally take 4-6 months.
Q: I don’t live near you so, how does this work?
A: Great question! — over 70% of my clients are actually out of state. Ive had as many as 11 girls in a bridal party fly down in one weekend to do their fittings. Typically I block off one weekend where my customers can come and have all of her alterations done in one visit. Example: The customer flies in early on Friday and leaves Sunday afternoon with all alterations done and the dress in hand. We are located about 30 minutes away from IAD Airport.
Q: If I am out of state, how do we do all of our appointments?
A: Basically, via video chat and share screen capabilities, you and I design and sketch the gown of your dreams. Via out video chats we share tons inspiration photos (or probably that Pinterest board you’ve been hoarding all these years), all of the above. In the fabric sourcing process I send you folders of dynamically detailed photos so you can see the beading, embroidery and texture up-close. During this time I study your body type and style to make sure it will look amazing in the style you choose!
Q: When do I see the dress?
A: After the final sketch is rendered it takes about 4-6 weeks to create your gown.
Q: Waiting to see the dress makes me nervous, what if there is something I don’t like?
A: Though our designing and sketching phase is very intensive and we ask every question imaginable, my absolute favorite part about doing a custom dress is that we can change things for you at your fitting. What would ordinarily be a stressful “nickel and dimeing” process at the average tailor shop for every change that you want, now becomes included in your super unique and custom experience. And we’re ALL about the experience. And after all, you’re not just buying a dress, you’re creating one, and we invite you to create with us and provide feedback.
