FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Custom wedding dresses start at €2,500 for simpler silhouettes, like a minimalist party dress, with most bespoke gowns typically ranging from €3,500 to €5,000 depending on fabric, embellishment, and hand-detailing involved. Each dress is priced individually based on the work involved.
The quoted price of your gown will only increase if changes are made after the design process that significantly affect the cost of materials and/or labor. I strive to minimise any additional costs and will always discuss and agree on potential price adjustments with you before proceeding with changes to the design.

Yes, I require a non-refundable 250€ design deposit before creating your designs, if you choose to continue with me this amount will be subtracted from the final price.
Once the final design has been chosen I require a further 50% deposit of the agreed upon price to begin making your wedding dress.
The final balance is due before you pick up your dress.

Typically, you can expect 3-5 fittings throughout the process. The first fitting is to try on the initial Toile or mock-up of your dress, allowing us to fine-tune the fit and make adjustments before cutting into the final silk. Subsequent fittings will ensure the gown is tailored perfectly to your body as we refine the details and check that every element sits beautifully. This process ensures your dress fits like a glove on your special day.

Creating a custom wedding dress typically takes between 6 and 12 months. This timeline ensures there is ample time for design consultations, sourcing materials, and multiple fittings to achieve the perfect fit and finish. However, if your wedding date is sooner, I can sometimes accommodate shorter times, though this will incur a rush fee due to the expedited work schedule. It is always best to start the process as early as possible to allow for a stress free and enjoyable experience.

Yes. While I'm based in Nice, on the French Riviera, I regularly design for brides across Europe, the UK, and further afield.
Design consultations, sketching, and fabric decisions all happen just as easily over video call as they do in person — this part of the journey works beautifully remotely, wherever you're based.
For fittings, I ask that brides plan for one in-person visit to the atelier, ideally for the toile fitting — this is the stage where getting the fit exactly right matters most, and it's much easier to perfect together in the room. If timing works out better for scheduling, I'm also occasionally able to travel to you instead.
If you're planning your wedding from further afield — the US or beyond — reach out and let's talk through what could work for your timeline and travel plans. I recommend starting the process at least 8–10 months before your wedding date to allow enough time for travel, fittings, and shipping.
