Occasionally Asked Questions

Have a question that's not answered on the website, but you've wondered about? We'd be happy to answer it for you! Here are a couple to get you started:

How much can be changed about my dress once the process starts?

-At your first fitting, you will try on a "muslin" of your gown - basically a version of your dress in simple cotton that will allow us to get the fit just right before using the real fabric. We will make marks all over it and then actually take it apart to make the pattern for your dress. If you try on the muslin and don't like the neckline, or if the skirt is too full or not full enough, or if the sleeves aren't shaped like you thought, etc., at this stage it is easy to make some changes. The further along the process we go, the harder it is to make changes other than minor fit adjustments.

Can I buy my own fabric/trim?

-Absolutely! If you find something you love, you can definitely do that. You will need to be in touch with Holly about how much to buy, and we will give you a new quote without the fabric cost. Depending on the circumstances, buying your own fabric may or may not save you more than the cost of the fabric in your quote from us.

So, ask away! We'll look forward to your questions...
