The dress making process is an incredible one! You will see your dress come to life with each fitting. After the consultation we will have on average a total of 4 fittings. The first few fittings will be done using a sample gown. The sample is used to prefect the fit. We will take apart, draw on and reconstruct your sample as needed until you are completely satisfied with the fit. Then and only then will we cut into your dress fabric. Everything is done on a step by step basis. I will not move forward until you give me the ok to do so. Through the entire process we will work together to bring your dress to life. Your dress is not done, until it is perfect.
