The consultation is the first step in the custom process. This involves a meeting between the client and the Designer. This meeting can be in one or more of the following forms:
Any other medium preferred by the client whereby an agreement is reached on product and services to be rendered.
During the consultation phase, the client and the Designer will discuss the purpose of the order and what combination of products and services best meets the client’s needs. All clients are encouraged to communicate all design ideas in detail and provide pictorial visuals of those ideas in order to ensure both parties understand what is to be achieved. The Designer will then offer her own design expertise which may enhance, complement or change the client’s design.
Having concluded all designs and customizations to be done, the Pre-Production phase begins with the following steps:
You will receive an e-mail which will outline all the intricate details of your custom gown. This document will have pictorial visuals, fabric selections, color choices and all customizations for your gown. This document is the formal representation of all designs finalized between the client and the Designer.
