Ready-to-Buy vs Custom: How to Decide

We offer both ready-to-buy dresses and fully custom commissions, and we get asked all the time which one to pick. The honest answer is that it depends on your timeline, budget, and how specific your vision is. Both have real advantages, and both can produce a dress you'll love wearing.

## How to Choose

- **Event in under 4 weeks?** Ready-to-buy is the safer choice

- **Standard size and flexible on silhouette?** Ready-to-buy saves time and money

- **Very specific vision or non-standard fit?** Custom is worth the investment

- **Bridal or high-ticket event?** Custom, every time — the fit alone is worth it

- **Unsure?** Book a consultation — we'll be honest about what will actually work

We'd rather send you home with a ready-made dress that fits perfectly than talk you into a custom commission you don't need. Come in, try on what we have, and we'll tell you straight if custom is the right call.
