During our first appointment, we will discuss your design, details and fabric ideas, and look through images and fabric swatches in order for me to understand your vision. I allow plenty of time for us to discuss this all and take in to consideration the style of your event, and how different types of fabrics look and react in certain styles. I will then draw a rough sketch of the finalised design, take dress measurements and make detailed notes of all of your fabric choices. Sometimes I may not have swatches in the right colour or your fabric choice, and I will therefore source these for you and arrange a further meeting for you to look through them.
We charge £15 for a 30 minute Virtual Appointment or £20 for a 45 minute In-Store Appointment. All appointment fees are refundable against an order. However the £20 will be retained for all appointments cancelled or missed within 48 hours of appointment time.

Once you are ready to proceed the fabric will be ordered and I will create a toile of your gown/garment which is a mock up using calico fabric. As soon as the toile is complete we will arrange a fitting time. During this first fitting we will make adjustments to the toile to make sure the gown/garment will fit you perfectly and make any minor changes to the style. The pattern and toile will then be adjusted accordingly or a 2nd toile will be made depending on the required changes.

After the toile process has been finished, the fit is perfected and you are happy with how the gown/garment looks, I will then create your gown in your chosen fabrics. Additional fittings may then be required.
