You do not need to arrive with a finished design. Your free Self-Made Couture consultation is a chance to talk through the occasion, the look you want and the questions you have about custom clothing.
Tell us what you are dressing for
Share your event date, budget, location and how you plan to wear the clothing. If you are building a wardrobe rather than dressing for one event, describe the pieces you reach for most often.
Bring inspiration and preferences
Photos can help explain a color, silhouette or detail. Tell your Design Expert which parts you like and which parts you would change. Describe fit problems you have had with other clothing.
Explore your design choices
Review available fabric and garment details with guidance from your Self-Made Design Expert. Ask about costs, special requests and the steps involved before finalizing your order.
Discuss measurements and timing
Your team will guide the measurement process for your consultation type. Custom orders can take 6–8 weeks; share deadlines before ordering. Delivery, fit review and any adjustments should be discussed for your location and order.
Choose where to meet
Book at a showroom or choose the available virtual option through our consultation page. Explore showroom locations if you would like to learn more first.
