So you want to have a dress made...
Once you've made the big decision, what's next?
-We will send you an official quote along with the professional illustration of your gown. You will sign off on the paperwork, and turn in your 50% deposit that will hold your space.
-When we are ready to begin the gown, we will take (or you will send us) your measurements. Preferably, these will be taken in the undergarments you will wear for your wedding. This helps avoid needing alterations later on.
-Holly will create your pattern by hand, and sew a simple cotton muslin version of your dress for you to try on.
-Your first fitting will be in the muslin, to make sure the pattern is right. An additional 25% payment is due. If you haven't already seen it, you will see the fabric we will make your dress from.
-Your gown will go to the seamstress, who may or may not need a fitting with you during the sewing process.
-When the gown is complete except for the hem and bustle (if needed), you will have a fitting for those.
-Your final fitting! Your gown is complete and perfect! Make your final payment and take your gown home to wait for your big day!
