- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our alteration prices are itemized. You will only pay for what you need. Custom design gowns start at $1500
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When ordering a custom designed gown I meet 1:1 with my customer for a consultation. We collaborate on the design and a sketch is presented for approval. Swatches are available for fabric approval. Price is quoted. Alteration customers - 3 - 5 fittings depending on the type of alterations needed. First fitting gown is pinned, second fitting is a try on and additional pinning might be needed or adjustments. Usually a third fitting is a final or a drop off/pick up.
