Prom calendar opens October 10,2023!
In order to start the process, please reach out at minimum 12 weeks prior to your event. As a tailoring boutique, we design a limited amount of bespoke garments annually. This is to insure each client receives a quality, individualized, experience; while working one on one with our lead designer.
Bespoke attire is created for individuals who want focus on their unique size, style, and personality! During this 30 minute session we will discuss initial ideas, timeline, policies and procedures. There is no obligation to hire us but if you chose to book a consultation the non refundable retainer fee is $550. This holds your place on our work calendar and goes toward your final cost.
Once you decide to commission us. We will book this appointment three weeks after our call. This gives us time to draw contracts, estimates, and develop initial ideas. This meeting can be held in person or virtually. For virtual appointments you must have someone to assist in taking measurements with our guidance. Once the estimate and design agreement are approved, a 50 percent deposit will be due within two weeks. We are committed to providing our clients with the highest level of service and quality. We take the time to listen to our clients' needs and preferences, while working closely with them to ensure that they are completely satisfied with the end result.
Once most of the major design decisions are made, I will get to work draping on your uniquely-sized dressform and pencil drafting a one-of-a-kind dress pattern exclusively from your measurements. I will then use the pattern to construct a sample dress, (also called a mock-up, toile or muslin), out of inexpensive fabrics for you to try on.
We will have our first mock-up fitting! In front of the mirror, we will adjust, cut, pin and draw all over the “test dress” to fine tune the design and how it relates to your unique figure.
This is the most exciting fitting because it is the first time that you will try on your actual custom garment! Different fabrics act differently, so much of the dress will still be for slight adjustments. We will take this time to fine tune everything for couture finishing and lining.
