FAQ

A bespoke wedding dress is fully customized from scratch—designed, patterned, and sewn exclusively for you. We take your vision, style preferences, body measurements, and fabric choices to create a one-of-a-kind gown that fits and flatters you perfectly.

Simply reach out via our website, email, or phone to request an appointment. We’ll confirm date and time based on your availability and ours. Consultations typically take 60–90 minutes, while fittings take 30–45 minutes each. We recommend 3–4 fittings to ensure the perfect fit.

We advise booking your first consultation 6-9 months before your wedding date. This timeframe allows for design, production, multiple fittings, and any alterations without rush.

You’ll meet one-on-one with our designer to discuss your vision, show inspiration boards, try fabric swatches, and review previous gown examples. We’ll also take measurements and talk through timelines and budget.

Costs vary based on design complexity, fabrics, embellishments, and Craftsmanship. Our bespoke gowns typically begin at Rental: R18000, bespoke R25000 and go up depending on custom details. Final pricing is confirmed once the design is finalized.

We usually schedule 3–4 fittings:

• First fitting: Basic structure and initial shape
• Second fitting: Refining fit and adjusting design details
• Third fitting: Final tweaks (hem, corsetry, embellishments)
• Fourth fitting (if needed): Perfecting last details closer to the wedding

You can make minor adjustments early in the process, but extensive design changes midstream may incur additional costs and extend the timeline. We'll review potential impact during our design consultations.

From first consultation to final pickup, expect around 6–9 months. Complexity of design, embellishments, and fitting schedules can affect timing.
