Absolutely! That's what we call Made-to-Measure service (See below). All our dresses can be purchased in Standard Sizes (0-32) or Made-to-Measure.

Extra fee apples.

Made-to-Measure is a specific service in out store. Unlike making standard dresses, we need to prototype your dress based on your individual measurements. But don?t be daunted. Leave the tedious making procedure to us. All you need to do is make sure you provide us proper measurements of these:
Bust (*)
Waist (*)
Hip (*)
Length (*)
Under Bust
Nipple-Nipple
Shoulder-Nipple
Shoulder-Waist
Shoulder-Hip
Shoulder-Shoulder
Neck
Biceps
The ones with (*) are required in order for us to make your dress. Others are optional.

Does it take longer to receive Made-to-Measure orders than "Standard Size" orders? [Top]
Actually with both options, it takes about the same time to receive your order. The reason is that we make to order, which means the Standard size dresses still have to be made upon ordering.
Note: Customers may have noticed that we also have "Ready-to-Ship Dresses", which can are pre-made in Standard sizes and can be shipped right away. However no options (such as matching shawl, changing color, and so on) are available as they are premade.
