Questions
The things worth asking first
How much does a gown cost?
From $3,900. Silhouette sets the floor and fabric moves the number most: embroidered lace or feathers can double it. You get an exact figure in writing before anything is cut, and the design can be drawn to fit a ceiling you name.
How long does it take?
Five to six months for most gowns. Simpler designs can be made faster; if your date is closer than that, say so in the first message and you will get an honest answer rather than a maybe.
I am not in Florida. Can this still work?
Yes, and it is how most gowns here are made. Brides in Tampa come to the studio; everyone else is fitted on camera, from twelve measurements, with photographs and video at every stage. One gown was made for a bride in Oregon and never tried on until it arrived.
Can you copy a dress I have seen?
Not copy, but reinterpret. Bring the photograph, most gowns start with one. The shape gets rebuilt for your figure and your wedding rather than traced, which is both the honest answer and the better dress.
Can you use my family's dress?
Yes. One of the gowns in the portfolio was rebuilt from a dress a grandmother sewed, taken apart and remade into a two-piece set with the original lace kept intact.
Only wedding dresses?
Mostly, but not only. Evening gowns, second looks for the reception, and dresses for the people standing next to you are all made here too.
Still unsure?
There is no fee for the conversation, and no obligation after it. Send a photograph, a date and a budget, and you get a price and a plan the next day.
