When do i need to schedule my appointent?

Typically we would like to see you 8 weeks before your event. If you need a little more involved work or want to add sleeves or redesign your dress, then we would like 12 weeks to the event. If you are wanting custom work, then we would like to hear from you 5 months ahead of time. We accept rushes based on our availability.

Its hard to say until we see you in your garment with all your undergarments and shoes. We only charge for the work that's needed. The pricing is based on the complexity of the work that is wanted. if you want to send us a photo of you in the garment its possible for us to give a rough estimate.
