In-person consultation happens by appointment only. We will meet in person at my private studio boutique. We will brainstorm on ideas, details and material selections. The pricing, the contract terms and timelines are discussed. I will be drawing a sketch and taking measurements. Please be prepared to wear the specialty undergarments and bring shoes ( or similar height of) so I can get the whole list of measurements I need at once. Commonly the contract is signed and 50% deposit is accepted to start the project.

I recommend NOT to buy fabrics before the project starts , unless you are my repeat client and have already the knowledge of the intricacies involved in arriving at the satisfactory result with specialty fabrics. Majority of my clients will buy their own materials after I supply the list of recommended stores and amounts of fabrics and notions needed. Occasionally I may have unique fabric or lace available that suits your design. Often i will go an extra mile and go shopping with you..it's so much more fun to do the girl thing together.

Every client gets their own custom pattern made. This is a fabric mock up of the gown or dress I'm making for you. During the first fitting it may seem a boring cloth “thingy” on you , but for me it's the most important way to arrive in the exact and perfect shape. During the muslin fitting you may ask or I may suggest changes to the design if needed. This step also eliminates excess future fittings and waste of fine or expensive fabrics.

Normally i will schedule all fittings up-front spanned out according to the mutually convenient times.There are commonly 2-3 additional fitting needed after the muslin stage to complete the project. With my expertise, timeliness and attention to all details I can guarantee the completion as agreed...always.

Pick-up time!! Once the project is complete and ready to be enjoyed, you have a chance to deck yourself up, invite your entourage and try it on for all of us to admire. At that time the account is settled and final instructions for wear and care are discussed. Occasionally one of your VIPs may be present to get a hands-on tutorial, because let's face it..one wears a complicated wedding dress only once in a lifetime, so one may just need that extra hand on the day of the important event.
