Questions
The things worth asking first
How much does a gown cost?
From $2,650. 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?
From two months, depending on the design: simpler dresses are faster, embroidery and handwork add time. If your date is close, 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. Gowns are made for brides across the US, and fittings happen in person at the Tampa studio. Out-of-town brides plan their trips around the fitting appointments; say where you are in the first message and the schedule is built around that.
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.
