Custom orders are the foundation of my company. Ordering custom requires a couple of appointments. We will have to decide on a day and time for us to meet, online video meetings are also available. In a 90 minute consultation appointment, we will discuss your favorite things about Arizona’s natural landscape, where in this great state does your heart call home? and from there, we will design your dress. I would like to know if there is a budget to be respectful of before we begin to sketch. It helps with creativity and also to manage expectations. You may choose which fabrics and colors we use and what designs speak to you. Most custom dresses are actually visual depictions of old stories or songs that speaks to what you like the most about the Arizona landscape. I will then take a plethora of measurements, we shall settle a 50% deposit. I take cash, paypal, zelle, cashapp, I can email you an invoice, or I can run your debit/credit card. There’s also a casino in my backyard if you need an ATM. After the payment is settled, we can schedule your pick up appointment.

At your pick up appointment, you will see your dress on full display. You will be given the opportunity to try everything on. If you ordered jewelry or sandals to go with your outfit, it will be ready also. Please bring all necessary undergarments to your pick up appointment! Items such as a strapless bra, are very important with one shoulder tops. Any necessary alterations will be done there on the spot. One shoulder tops will certainly need to be altered at the shoulder and a dart needs to be added at the bust. Once the garment is fitting to the client’s satisfaction, the final payment is then settled and the clothing is quickly hung, covered by a plastic garment bag and presented to the client for their special occasions.
