FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My custom gowns start at $1,500.00 + materials, this is your dream gown made just for you lace, silk train whatever you like. If you have a smaller budget I have the economy gown that starts at 800.00. This gown has certain limitation including no trains, no strapless gowns and no chiffon. I need lead time of no less than 4 months to create a gown. Rush alterations are priced at 50.00/ hr for my time and I estimate the price when I see the dress. Alterations with a 2 week or more window are estimated at 40.00/hr. Any materials I need are added to this price.

With a new customer when I feel they are a good fit for me we set up a consultation and they come to me with pictures or the dress they want or a dress that needs work done on and we go from there.
