 How much do your custom-made wedding dresses cost?

Custom-made wedding dresses start at $4,000.

Where are your dresses made?

All made by Desireé in Lakeland, Florida, US. 

Do you sell eco-friendly/vegan dresses?

Yes, most of Desireé Marie's clothing is eco-friendly or vegan or can be made in vegan-friendly fabrics upon request. See my blog about going green. 

Desireé also has a few pieces in the shop that are made entirely from recycled materials. Check out the Gaia gown or the Sally dress.

How long will it take to get my custom-made dress?

Bridal wear will take approximately 3-9 months to be completed (depending on fabric lead times). If I have space open, I take on a limited amount of Ready-to-wear, bridesmaids, and special occasion custom orders. These would take approximately 2-3 months to be completed (depending on quantity and demand).

Brides typically need a consultation and 5-7 fittings to get the perfect fit.

Non-Local Residents: If you are not able to meet in Central FL for in-person fittings, please allow enough time to receive your dress 8-10 weeks before your wear date for alterations in your hometown by another seamstress.
Gowns are made to your provided measurements. However, a bride should always assume that a dress will need a few adjustments to fit best.
(No returns on custom wear)

Do you sell in stores?

No, currently, we are only selling online. However, we can meet in person with Central Florida residents in Lakeland, FL.

Are you insured?

Yes, you can be assured we are insured. (Hiscox Insurance)
