Q. What if I am interested in one of your gowns?
A.

Q. Can I get a petite or a plus size wedding dress?
A.
We can create any of our exclusive designs in a petite bridal gown, a plus size bridal gown, a long waisted wedding dress, a large size wedding dress… whatever you need. We can fit every special shape to show your figure to it's best advantage.

Q. What if I like a design but want in a color other than what you have listed?
A.
We have a wide variety of fabrics available. We will do our best to accommodate your requests whenever possible.

Q. How can I be assured the gown will fit?
A.
We will construct the gown according to the measurements sent us. As in all wedding gowns, to achieve the perfect, individual fit that every bride wants, make arrangements to have minor final fitting alterations done when the dress is received.

Q. What if I have an unusual figure?
A.
We do offer a service that involves constructing a muslin "mock-up" of the bodice. If you're interested in this service, we will send you the mock-up so it can be professionally pinned it to fit you. Then return the mock-up to us so we can cut the gown in the actual fabric. 

Q. How long will it take?
A.
The average gown takes 60-90 days for final completion, depending on the amount of detail and hand work. We will accommodate rush orders whenever possible for no additional charge.

Q. Do you offer period headpieces to go with the gowns?
A.
Yes. We already have period headpieces designed that complement many of our gowns. Use our e-mail link on the "contact us" page if you would like us to e-mail photos of the headpieces from your time period.

Q. Do you custom design gowns also?
A.
Yes, tell us about your dream gown. We will put together a design packet that includes detailed sketches and fabric swatches. Through inspiration, excellent work and true artistry, we create beauty and joy by assisting brides in fulfilling their dreams!

Q. Do you have gowns available other than what is in your Design Gallery?
A.
We are constantly in the process of developing new designs and making samples of current designs. If you are interested, please contact us.

Q. Do you design bridesmaids and grooms attire?
A.
Yes. However, because we custom create each individual item for you, this service can be quite costly compared to purchasing something ready-made.
