Custom order policies

  • The consultation fee is $20. That fee is credited toward your custom order if your project is accepted and you choose to move forward.
  • Booking a consultation does not guarantee that your project will be accepted. Acceptance depends on timeline, complexity and current studio capacity.
  • Custom pricing is quoted after the consultation, once the design, fabric and construction have been discussed.
  • Custom work is made to your measurements and cannot be resold, so custom orders are not returnable.
  • Your event date drives the schedule. The earlier you book, the more design and fabric options stay open to you.
  • Fittings are part of the process. Plan to come in for fittings between the consultation and the finished piece.

The process

Your custom design journey

Six steps from first conversation to finished piece.

  1. Book your consultation

    Reserve a 30 minute conversation about the piece you have in mind.

  2. Share your vision

    Bring inspiration images, your event date and your budget range.

  3. Design and quote

    Silhouette, fabric and construction are agreed, then your project is quoted.

  4. Measurements

    Your measurements are taken so the piece is drafted to your body, not a size chart.

  5. Fittings

    You come in for fittings as the piece is constructed and refined.

  6. Final reveal

    Your finished piece is pressed, checked and handed to you.
