Designs by Deborah Hill
Beauty by Design is proud to offer custom made wedding gowns, formal wear, and clothing. Schedule a consultation to start your design process.
The custom clothing process starts with a free consultation where you share with me your ideas of what you are thinking and what you would like. Images are always best to make sure I know what you mean. I also like to get to know a little about you and your special event which I keep in mind as I design.
The design includes a front and back drawing, multiple fabric options, and what the price would be according to each fabric. I charge a small fee for the design which includes doing research, gathering fabric swatches, and creating the drawing.
The design and estimates are presented either by email or in person at an appointment. At this point, you choose the fabrics and approve the design or make any adjustments to your liking. Also at this appointment, I take your measurements not only for fit but also design as to how long or how high you desire.
When the design is agreed upon, a deposit payment of half of the estimate is due to start the project. When the deposit payment is made, I start by ordering some materials and making the pattern.
There are multiple fittings throughout the process as I progress through making the gown or garment. There are generally at least three fittings, yet I will continue to work on the dress until it is completed to your satisfaction and fits perfectly!
Final payment is due at the final fitting. We also like to get some pictures at this final fitting before you walk out the door with my artwork for you to adorn your beautiful self!
