How long does it take to make a dress?
Brides, matric gowns and evening dresses are booked anywhwhere from 6 months before the wedding/event. Rush orders may be submitted as early as 6 weeks before the deadline depending on studio capacity.
Ready to wear items have an average turnaround of 2 weeks.
How does the production/fitting process work if I am not based in Johannesburg?
Once we settle on design and quotation, you pay 50% to start production. I have a measuring chart with instructions that I send you and I need pictures of you from front and side to see your posture and build for my patterns.
I'm in contact the whole way from the fabric shops to the production of the gown with pictures and videos. Then I finish the gown as far as possible and if you are able to come in for a fitting then you fit, I finish the gown during the week/weekend you are here and then you fly back with your gown.
If you are not able to fit then I will request updated measurements before sizing and if you have someone to collect they can collect for you otherwise you can send the gown with dhl express at an adittional cost. Shipping insurance is covered by Laryne Jefferies pty ltd.
Second 50% is payed before delivery.
