An appointment will be made to take your measurements. This will be a 15-20 minute session. Please ensure you are wearing the underwear you will be wearing on the day of your event, or something similar and please also bring along a similar height heel that you will be wearing on the day. At this point you will be required to pay at least 1/3rd of the dress price, as we will then begin to start work on your dress.

A toile will be made, this is a mock up of your dress made from a toile calico fabric. This is made in order to perfect the fit and make any minor design adjustments. We will do as many toile fittings as needed. We advise all clients to have chosen their underwear at this point if possible and be wearing it at this stage as this can alter the fit of the garment. We will finalise all fabrics at this point as well.
