I want to custom design my wedding dress. What should I do?
Step by step process to custom design your wedding dress:
1. Consultation: Share your dream dress details and reference photos with us via email or book a virtual consultation! Our stylist will discuss design possibilities and share fabric options as we shape your vision.
2. Quotation and Deposit: Once the design is set, receive the estimated cost of your dress. Confirm your order with a 50% deposit.
3. Design Finalization: We'll craft a vision board or sketch based on our conversations. You'll have the opportunity to review and refine the design before we begin the making process.
4. Progress Updates: Throughout the creation process, we'll keep you updated. For intricate designs like embroidery or beading, progress photos will be shared. For minimalist styles, photos will be provided upon completion for your review.

Care instructions
• Store your dress in its garment bag (provided) and hang it on a wooden hanger (also included) to its full length within the bag. Avoid folding it halfway to minimize wrinkles.
• Steam your dress a day before the wedding, maintaining a safe distance between the steamer and the fabric. Do not use a flat iron to remove wrinkles.
• Post-wedding, most dresses need dry cleaning, while some can be hand-washed using water and soap without rubbing or squeezing. Avoid getting fringe, tassels, rhinestones, metal accessories, or similar add-ons wet. Once cleaned, hang the dress and store it back in the garment bag.
