We love when our brides bring clippings or images of their dress ideas. Maybe she even has a Pinterest page with some great examples of things she likes. We will go over those images and discuss the designs she likes and the ones she doesn't. 

The designer begins sketching designs and sourcing materials so we can get a proper proper idea of dress design and the cost of the gown.  

Each gown requires the greatest care and attention to detail. The designer prefers six months to a year to create a custom gown. But, she has completed many gowns in less time. If you are worried about your timetable, please reach out and we will assess things on a case by case basis. 

YES! We offer sizing for all beautiful body types! 

General bridal alterations range from 1200-1700 + tax. Customizations and more intricate gowns can cause the price to increase. We will provide you with a more accurate quote during your initial consultation.

Our custom pricing begins at 4500.

Our gown pricing includes the initial sourcing and sketching, pattern design, garment construction, every fitting, alterations, and communication. All told, custom and collection gowns/garments can take anywhere from 60-100+ hours to complete. They are made in our atelier in Minneapolis with couture methods.  

Of course! We love meeting your friends and family. It's always helpful to bounce ideas off the people we love. 

Your tailor will let you know when you are required to bring your shoes. We only measure for the hem with the shoes that you’ll be wearing on your wedding day. No need to bring in test shoes unless you wanted to see how they compliment the dress.

We estimate 3-4 appointments but always schedule in wiggle room if a dress requires more intricate alterations.

It is a common and very understandable question! We all fluctuate here and there and wedding garments are arguably the most important item of clothing we will wear. Modehaus is a size inclusive and body neutral business that is going to accept and service our clients at every stage and size.

We always leave ourselves space to take in or let out a garment as much as possible without causing structural complications to the construction and fit of the garment.

We also prefer to have the last appointment nearer to the client’s wedding date to make sure that things are fitting in our client’s current physical state.

One caveat is that we only like to do work once. So, we do not prefer to take something in only to let it out later or vice versa. Being open and clear about any fluctuations or changes you might anticipate for any reason is very helpful during your tailoring journey. In certain instances, we do require additional payment if the work must be repeated.
