Shipping Times
Each of our wedding dresses is crafted with exceptional care and precision, tailored specifically for you once your order is confirmed. As our dresses are made-to-order, the time it takes to prepare and ship your unique garment can vary. Generally, the creation and delivery process ranges from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the dress design and our current order volume.
To ensure that your dress arrives with ample time for fitting and adjustments, we kindly ask that you include the date of your ceremony in the order notes. This allows us to prioritize the making of dresses with approaching wedding dates. If your wedding is scheduled for less than 8 weeks away, we recommend selecting an expedited shipping option. This precaution helps to accommodate any necessary alterations, ensuring your dress is perfect for your special day.
Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions about your order or shipping times; we are here to assist you every step of the way!
Choosing Your Size
Selecting the perfect fit for your wedding gown is crucial for ensuring you look and feel your best on your special day. It's important to base your gown size on your most recent, accurate measurements rather than relying on the numeric size of other garments, as sizing can vary significantly between different brands and styles.
Please refer to the measurement chart included in the product photos to determine the right size for you. If your measurements do not align perfectly with one size, we recommend choosing the size that corresponds to your largest measurement. This approach ensures the gown will fit where it is most needed, and smaller areas can be easily adjusted during fittings to achieve a flawless fit.
For brides seeking a truly tailored experience, we offer custom sizing options. A gown made to your specific measurements will accentuate your unique shape beautifully. However, please be aware that custom-sized dresses are created just for you and, as such, cannot be returned or exchanged.
We encourage you to take accurate measurements and consult with us if you need guidance on choosing the best size or custom options. Your comfort and confidence on your wedding day are our top priorities.

Please note, that your custom-sized dress will be crafted to your specific measurements, and as such, cannot be returned or exchanged. The gown does not include accessories such as gloves, a veil, or a petticoat.

Understanding the urgency of such situations, we offer expedited production and shipping services to ensure your gown arrives on time for your special day. Please be aware that rush fees will apply to accommodate the accelerated process. To initiate a rush order, please send us a message with your upcoming wedding date and the destination to which the dress needs to be shipped.

Fitting Your Gown
Achieving the perfect fit for your wedding or formal gown often requires professional adjustments. Even with precise measurements, most dresses may need minor tweaks to ensure they fit flawlessly for your special day. If you find that your dress does not fit perfectly upon arrival, we recommend visiting a local tailor.
A professional tailor can make the necessary alterations to your gown, whether it’s adjusting the hem, taking in the waist, or modifying the bust. Tailors have the expertise to alter your dress in a way that complements your body shape while maintaining the integrity and design of the gown.
For brides who have selected gowns based on standard or custom measurements, it is quite common to need at least some alterations. Contacting a local tailor ensures that any adjustments needed are done so with precision and care, leaving you with a beautifully fitting dress for your important occasion.
Care Instructions for Your Wedding Dress
Before Your Wedding:
To ensure your dress remains pristine until your big day, store it in a garment bag and keep it in a dry, safe place away from direct sunlight and dust. This will help preserve the fabric's integrity and appearance.
Ironing Your Dress:
After shipping, your wedding dress may require some gentle ironing to smooth out any creases. Always use a low heat setting and place a thin cloth between the iron and the fabric of the dress to protect delicate materials. If your dress contains embellishments or delicate lace, consider using a hand steamer at a safe distance to avoid direct contact; this method can help reduce the risk of damage.
After Your Wedding:
We highly recommend professional cleaning to preserve your gown post-celebration. Professional cleaners specialize in bridal gowns and will know how to treat specific fabrics and details safely. After cleaning, store your dress in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable garment bag or a specially designed wedding gown preservation box. This is particularly important if you plan to keep your gown as a keepsake or wish to pass it down to future generations.
Following these care instructions will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your wedding dress, ensuring it remains a cherished part of your special day for years to come.
