Custom Sizing

Custom sizing may be the good choice for you if you want toΒ save a lot on alteration charges. We will create the dress according to your specific measurements, such as bust, waist, hips, height, dress length, bicep, sleeve length, and bra cup size.

It is important to note that while a custom size dress can give you a better fit, it may not eliminate the need for future alterations. This is because the tailoring is done without your physical presence and is based on only a few key measurements.

Custom dresses are non-returnable for any reason, including wedding cancellations or last-minute changes. So make sure you're 100% in love with your design before you order!

To eliminate any concerns about alterations, we suggest opting for a lace-up back. This allows you to adjust the fit, whether you need it tightened or loosened for eating and moving.
