Designer Consultation and Alterations
On the first consultation, Ana will work with you in bringing your ideas and concept into a clear design. She will advise you on what will fit your body type and flatter your figure the most. Ana will then provide you with a sketch of your ideal dress. Please note, all clients get a free estimate and an appointment can be scheduled without being pressured to buy.
The cost will vary based on your fabric selection and the complexity of the design. A lead-time of four to six months is appropriate but could also change depending on the complexity of the garment. Once the design is complete and we are ready to begin with the fit sessions, a fifty percent deposit will be required. The final payment will be due upon completion of the gown. All major credit cards are accepted.
Once you have chosen your individual design and selected the appropriate fabrics and trims, we are ready to start the project. Please make sure to bring the shoes and lingerie that you will be wearing on your wedding day. These are two things that can affect the look and the fit of the dress so make sure you have them for all your fittings.
The fitting process:
First Fitting: The sample gown is made out of cotton muslin. The toile fitting is your big chance to see all details such as necklines, hem lines, sleeve length, and the general proportion and shape of the gown. All fit adjustments and design changes are made on this sample. Once you approve the sample, the gown is cut out of the real fabric. If changes need to be made, there will be another fitting with the muslin.
Second Fitting: We fit the gown in the chosen fabric(s) and
refine the fit.
Third Fitting: We add selected beadwork, embroidery or trim
detail.
Fourth Fitting: The gown's final fitting. Your final fitting
should be as close to the wedding date as possible, just in case you gain
or lose weight. Your couture gown should now fit perfectly!
