Wedding dresses and ensembles

For wedding dresses and ensembles, I would recommend getting in touch at least six months before the garment is needed.   Generally, measurements are taken six months in advance and the first fitting occurs 4 months before the clothes are required.  Completion and final fittings normally occur 2-4 weeks in advance.

Special Occasions

For other commisions two or three months is more typical - depending on design and fabrics.

Embroidery, beadwork, lace, etc

If you are considering something highly decorated, please get in touch as soon as possible.

All these times are approximate and change from person to person depending on design and my availability.   It is always best to contact me and I will try to help you get ready for your special occasion.
