My top is a size 4, but my bottom is a size 8. What do I do?

Don’t worry. We can make any style dress that you see here with your own custom measurements. Complete the Measurement Chart or if you are local come to our shop for custom fittings (by appointment only). See Measuring Your Body for measuring details.

How long do I have to wait for my custom dress?

Style and details dictate completion date. Please discuss deadlines with Linda. For example - a simple measurement change on a dress the re cut could be well within the normal quoted time frame. For a wedding party Linda suggests 6 months is a safe period to plan. This type of special project could involve locating and special ordering fabrics or trims, discussing, sketching design options and of course the construction and fitting of garments and accessories.

It’s Monday, but I need the dress by Friday. Do I have to wait four weeks?
