Using a simple, fun, and interactive three-step process, you can design a custom dress at this website. By clicking on options to create the perfect dress, you'll also see a rendition of the final version before purchasing or saving in your shopping cart. We offer eight different dress styles- classic designs that have withstood the passage of time. Each style can be customized by choosing the neckline, sleeve length, dress length, optional add-on and fabric. The basic dress styles are princess, empire, waisted, a-line, sheath and halter.
You can choose your bust, waist and hip measurements if they are different from our standard sizes.
If you've had trouble getting standard size dresses to fit, we offer a special service (at a nominal charge) that allows you to customize your fit. We will send you a muslin form of the dress style you order for you to pin and send back to us.
Click from the home page into the Design Your Dress page. The dress form will show the dress silhouette - now it's time to get creative! Pick from options including dress style, neckline, sleeve style, hem length, an optional add-on and fabric and see the dress form change to show your design. Move to the sizing page next where you can choose a standard size or custom measurements. You can also specify your exact dress length and sleeve length.
Because your dress is custom sewn, please allow 3-4 weeks from date of order to delivery. If you have a special event, just let us know the date needed in the Comments section of your order. Dresses shipped to US addresses are sent via the USPS using 2-3 day priority mail at $11.95 for shipping and handling per order. Express or international shipping options are also available starting at $24.95. Please note the delivery timeframe for international shipping will probably be longer.
We offer one size alteration, free of charge, or we will reimburse you up to $25 for a one-time alteration at your local seamstress or tailor.
For standard sizes, we accept returns of unworn, unwashed dresses for a prompt, full refund (excluding shipping) if dresses are returned within 7 days. For custom measurements, because they are custom to you, we regret that these dresses can NOT be returned for a refund.
