Why are your made to measure
and designer couture wedding gowns less
expensive?
A.
All of my designs are hand-made at my own workshop by
my own dedicated bridal team near Bangalore,
south India: thus my overheads are much less
than if made in the UK, I can then pass these savings onto my
customers. But rest assured that the quality of
garment and service is never
compromised.
How do I know your gowns are genuine couture?
A.
You can be fully assured that my designs are
100% authentic and made to the highest possible
standards, and I offer both made to measure and
couture. Please see below an explanation by one
of the top UK wedding fashion houses as to what
is genuine couture and true made to measure:
Made to measure
is where the bride chooses an existing design,
that is then made up to fit her. The
price quoted normally includes a number of
fittings. Made to measure dresses typically
start from £1500 upwards. In the ideal world,
all brides would have their dresses made to
measure, to ensure a perfect fit.
Couture
is where the customer sits down with the
designer and the dress is designed from
scratch to the customer’s specification.
With couture, there is usually always a toile
fitting, (to check the fit of the pattern),
before the dress is cut and made up. Couture
dresses typically start from £3000 upwards, as
they are very time consuming and expensive to
manufacture.
How much should I pay for my
dress?
A. It is always helpful to identify a budget for your dress and try to stick to it,
but as a guide, you can buy off the peg wedding gowns today from as little
as £60, but remember these will be mass produced and not unique.
On average brides pay between £1000 - £4000 for
their gown. But you can buy gowns up to £50,000!
My made to measure gowns begin from around £600
and my couture gowns start from around £900.
And remember my price includes all alterations,
so this will help you to set your budget knowing
there are no extras.
How I can I be sure that I'm buying with
confidence?
A. I am a fully qualified,
international award-winning fashion designer and have successfully designed for woman
in the UK, Europe, USA and the Far East and
offer complete confidence when designing your
dream wedding gown. And I also offer a full
refund if you are not happy with your final fit.
How long will I have to wait for my dress?
A. This usually depends on the content of your chosen design, but as a guide,
I can usually offer a minimum of 12 weeks to a
maximum of 20 weeks, this is possible
because of my own dedicated bridal team.
Is there an extra charge for
alterations or any hidden charges?
A. No, all of my prices include alterations and
there are no hidden costs to add to your chosen
design
Do you
have dresses I can try on?
A. Yes I do, I have many designs for you to try on, I can bring them along to
your home or visit my lovely studio in Suffolk,
UK.
