Book a Zoom consultation to discuss your vision, event details, style preferences, timeline, and budget.
💳 $500 Booking Deposit Required
If you decide not to move forward after your consultation, your deposit will be refunded minus a $100 consultation fee.
If you move forward with your custom gown, the remaining deposit will be applied toward your gown balance.
A contract outlining the complete process, timeline, payment schedule, and policies will be provided after your consultation and before production begins.
Following your consultation, we will begin designing your custom evening gown.
✨ You'll receive:
A custom design concept
Fabric and embellishment recommendations
Estimated production timeline
Fitting schedule
Once the design is approved, fabrics and materials will be ordered.
We will source fabrics, embellishments, lace, appliqués, crystals, and trims based on your design vision and budget.
📦 Fabric arrival typically takes 2–4 weeks.
Photo and video updates may be provided throughout the process as materials arrive and production progresses.
Fittings typically begin once fabrics arrive and construction is underway.
📍 Downtown Chicago
Fittings may be conducted by the designer's assistant.
Clients may or may not meet directly with the designer during every fitting.
If an in-person meeting with the designer is scheduled, only 2 guests may attend.

Custom evening gowns should be booked at least 2 months before your event date.
Final payment must be completed no later than 14 days before delivery or pick-up.
