Custom Gown Process
01. Understand Your Silhouette
We each have a silhouette we usually gravitate towards when looking for our dream dress. However, I highly recommend understanding what silhouette flatters your body type and fits within your comfort zone. If you are unsure I'd be very happy to help! For example if youre looking to dance the night away or hike for an adventurous elopement, I wouldn't recommend a mermaid silhouette.
02. Schedule Your Consultation.
I know, I know. Some people hate phone calls now days. BUT I promise not to talk your ear off- Ill also give you pricing details below on average custom gown cost so you're prepared ahead of time. I know what its like to have the old bait and switch tactic thrown on you- so I promise not to do that. I work with my hands so the point of the call is to help me understand what you're looking for out of a gown and how we can work together to create something beautiful. I will need your measurements in which I will send you my sizing chart and instructions. Alternatively, you can book an appointment to come visit my office in Panama City Beach, FL. and I will personally take your measurements and we can look through this years lace collections to design your gown.
03. Place Your Deposit and Start the Sewing Process.
Our custom gowns range from $1,800 to $3,600 for our fully beaded extravagant ball gowns. Most brides on average spend anywhere from $2,200- $2,800 depending on their vision. I require a $400 deposit to start the sewing process. I offer in house payment plans and also Affirm financing. My goal is to make your dream dress as easily obtainable as I can.
04. Sit Back, Relax, and Enjoy the Wedding Planning Proces
We recommend booking your consult and starting the sewing process a MINIMUM of 4 months in advanced to guarantee your dress be delivered in time. Our average brides purchase their gowns 6 months prior to the wedding to ensure if any last minute alterations are needed, their accomodations be met.
