What if I don't live in Colorado?

All the time, brides tell us online, "I LOVE your gowns, but I don't live in Colorado, and I can't afford to fly out there." Well, having your gown done in person is NOT the only way! :) If you live out of state and cannot come for fittings, your process can look like this. You can still have a custom Maeve gown!

1. First, we will have a consultation via phone. Ideally, we'll have internet access at the same time so we can send pics/drawings back and forth during the phone call. This can be done by 3-way call or speakerphone with Sara and Holly. You can even put us on speakerphone at your end if you want to include other people in the consultation. We will nail down what you're looking for.

2. We will have your gown professionally illustrated. This way, everyone is on the same page and we all know what is being made.

3. You will go to a seamstress or tailor in your area (call a high-end clothing store for recommendations) and have measurements taken. The measurements we need depend on the style of your gown, so we will tell you which ones are needed and send you a form to have the seamstress fill out. You will send us the completed form.

4. We will make a muslin version of your gown and actually send it to you for you to try on. This confirms your measurements and the fit of the gown. If it does not fit, you will need to take it to a seamstress for them to mark changes for us. Then you send it back.

5. When we receive the muslin, we will use it as the pattern and make your gown, start to finish. We will then ship it to you (of course with insurance, etc!) Your gown will be made to the measurements you originally sent us, and must be paid in full by Paypal before we ship the dress. You will receive pictures of the completed gown before you must pay, then once we receive payment we will send the gown, and give you a tracking id for the dress package. If additional alterations need to be made once you receive the gown, you will just find a local seamstress (often you can call a local bridal shop and they have recommendations) who can do those for you.

It's a little more complex than ordering a dress in the store, but overall fairly straightforward! Please contact us for more info!
