ORDERS

How long will it take for my custom dress to be finished?

We ask that you please allow 10 to 12 weeks for formal gowns and 12 to 14 weeks for wedding gowns to be complete. Your one-of-a-kind dress requires a lot of detailing and we take our time to make your dress with the utmost attention to detail so that you are completely satisfied when you receive your dress. Please note that these timelines are an estimated average. Your dress could be ready sooner or later depending on the style chosen. More complex styles with heavy embellishments require longer time to complete.
