How do I start the custom dress process?

To begin, book an in store consultation through our website. This is where we get to know your vision, style, and wedding plans.

What should I bring to my consultation?

You are the designer. Bring photos, inspiration ideas, sketches, or details of the dream dress you have in mind. The more ideas you bring, the better we can guide the design.

What happens during the consultation?

During your appointment, we will walk you through the process step by step and discuss:

• Your dream custom dress design

• Preferred silhouettes and neckline styles

• Fabric, appliqué, and lace options

• Sleeve, neckline, train, and back details

• Comfort, movement, and desired fit

• Budget and design priorities

Do you take measurements?

Yes. Once we finalize the direction of your custom dress, we take detailed measurements to ensure the best possible fit.

How is the design finalized?

We help refine your ideas using our expertise in fit, proportion, fabrics, appliqué, lace details, and styling. Every detail is tailored to you.

What happens after the consultation?

Once all details are confirmed, your custom dress order is sent into our dressmaking production. We only proceed once you feel confident in the final design and have a clear understanding of the overall look and details of your dress.

How long does it take for a dress to be ready?

Typically, a custom dress order takes about 4 months to be made from the date your order is confirmed.

For select designs, we also offer a rush order option with an approximate 2 month timeline.

When should I start the process?

We recommend starting 6 to 8 months before your event date to allow enough time for consultation, production, fittings, and final adjustments.

Rush custom dress orders are not accepted less than 3 months before the event date.

When is the dress ready?

When your dress is completed, we invite you back for your fitting and try on. In most cases, the dress fits nearly perfectly thanks to accurate measurements, quality workmanship, and careful execution. If any final adjustments are needed, we offer professional alterations to achieve the best possible fit.

What happens at the final fitting?

You return for your final fitting, where we ensure the dress fits beautifully and every detail is complete. Once approved, your dress is ready to take home.

How much does an average dress cost?

Pricing depends on the design, fabrics, and level of detail involved.

Our formal dresses typically range from $300 to $800.
Our bespoke custom wedding gown generally range from $1200 to $2500.

Do you offer alterations on dresses not made by La Rose?

Yes. We offer professional alterations on many dresses that were not made by La Rose, including wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, prom dresses, graduation dresses, and other formalwear. Alteration services depend on the design, fabric, structure, and timeline of the dress. We recommend booking a dress consultation so we can assess the garment and discuss the best options.
