How We Work
  Having your wedding dress made
Before we even put pencil to paper, we need to get to know you. Tell us about your venue, your own design thoughts and colour preferences. We then work with you to create the perfect design for your dress, and then we give you a cost estimate. Once you decide to proceed, we ask for a deposit (usually 50% of the estimated cost). We order your fabrics and begin work on cutting your pattern to produce a full size model of your dress. This calico toile gives both you and the designer the opportunity to make any minor design changes before cutting the actual fabric.

We book further appointments as your dress progresses, and this is an ideal opportunity to discuss your shoes and other accessories. We leave the final fitting until about two weeks before your wedding, because we know that you will have lost weight since your last visit to us. (All our brides do!) Your dress is then hand finished and made ready for collection.
