What is the base price of your gowns?

Determining the base price of our gowns can be quite complex. Due to the various clothing eras we cater to, the types of materials you may choose, the trims, and the fabric quantities required, prices can vary significantly. For customers who provide their own fabric, we simply apply our standard hourly rate, which helps to manage costs. Our hourly fee for garment creation is $30.00. The cost of fabric ranges from $5.99 per yard for non-reproduction period cottons to $200.00 per yard or more for luxurious silks and taffetas. Depending on the desired era, each gown typically requires between 6 to 12 yards of fabric. All garments are tailored using measurements supplied by the client, so please ensure that all measurements are accurate. We cannot be held responsible for any fitting issues that may arise.
