The majority of our clients submit their retail orders to us directly as follows…
- Communicate what you want or do not want (as shown or with changes) on your order form via email, fax or mail.
- Submit your order forms & deposit payment to us for us to begin production on your garment. We will then produce the item per your request and preferences.
- When your order is complete and ready to ship we obtain your final balance and then we ship your ball gowns or bridal dresses to you.
- Additional photos can be sent via email when available.
- We do not accept orders or payments over the phone or directly on-line.
Communicating an order request to us is much the same as communicating it to a store. Instead of the bridal salon giving your order information to the designer you are giving it to the designer yourself. Instead of telling the shop your request in person you are communicating it on our order form using the same words you would use if you were face to face. A typical bridal store will order a size from a designer's size chart then have thier local tailor alter the dresses down and charge for "fittings". We simply make the gowns in your specific measurements so "fittings" are not necessary unless you change in shape. In both cases, a local tailor will fit you, if ever neccesary.
If you can not order ball gowns or custom wedding dresses from us (the designer) directly by submitting your order form as outlined above - and instead can only have one of your local bridal shops do it for you then simply go to any retail store near you that you prefer, where designer dresses are sold, and request them to contact us on your behalf to inquire and/or place the order for you. Any retailer you choose will be able to inquire and/or order from us on your behalf. Understand we have absolutely no idea what a retailer will have in their current inventory for you to see, touch, or try on - only they would know that information. Most retailers usually only stock sample sizes 8/10 or up to 16. So chances are you may not be able to try anything on (for fit). Measurements will still have to be taken. As mentioned when you click on personal measurements...any local tailor or alterationist can assist you. Also if you are simply wanting to "try on" dresses realize most retailers will not purchase extra inventory or request a specific design in from a designer on special request just for you to try on without some type of financial commitment from you.
Having formal dresses made to order is not the same as shopping.... for a blouse or jeans off the rack. A size 10 blouse or skirt is not the same as a size 10 formal gown. Formal dresses need to be made for you and your body. And dresses off the rack (that you could touch or try on) were not actually made for you. Therefore sometimes a garment will look good on the hanger (or in a picture) and then not look good on you when you try it on. The reason for that is simple - it was not made for you! So please understand with any design of any kind of garment... instead of using fit (of an off the rack item that was not made for you) as criteria for determining rather or not the dress will "look good" on....it is always better to ask yourself have I worn this cut (in a shirt, blouse, dress or otherwise) before and did I like it. Does the dress in the picture cover what I want to cover, and does it show what I want to show. If it does (either with or without changes) and/or you already know you have worn that type of cut in the past and ultimately liked it... then you simply need to have your evening wear dress made to order.... according to your individual needs & personal preferences (again either with or without changes) but more importantly in your own specific and personal measurements so that it will fit on you how you want, be made according to your specific body shape & hit on your body where you need it to - unlike any other evening dresses you may have tried on "off the rack" that did not look good on - which again is because it was not made to your specific body shape but instead in that designers stock sizes.
