How long will it take?

8 to 12 weeks. (Rush Orders can be accommodated.)

 


Can you make my Grandmother's gown fit me?

Usually, depending on several factors. If the gown is too large – no problem – too small – if there is a train, fabric can be used from it to add to the bodice.

How many fittings will it take?

After the initial consultation – 2 to 3 fittings should do.

 


What do I need for my first fitting?

The shoes and undergarments you will be wearing on your wedding day.

Top


How much will it cost?

It depends on the total job. I will be able to give you an estimate.

 


Will you be able to tell me what needs to be changed (altered) or updated?

Yes, at our first consultation we will discuss what your vision and desires are and create them.

Top


Can you add a layer or change the neckline?

Yes, most necklines can be changed and layers can be added or removed. Sleeves can be removed and the bodice can be adapted as well.

 


Can you embellish my gown with the elements of MY choice?

I have a vast array of crystals, beads, and pearls to choose from, or I can use your elements or find what you desire.

Top


What time frame do you need before the wedding?

6 months before the wedding date is great. Some brides come to me 1 year in advance. Whatever you are comfortable with.

 


Can you make a veil to match a vintage gown?

Yes, depending on the period of your gown, I can create a veil to match the style.

Top


Can you design a veil to match my Modern Gown and Style?

This is my specialty! I have several unique original designs to show you, as well as the traditional style veils.
