Help! I’ve seen so many dresses that I now can’t make up my mind. I really want a little of this one and a little of that. If I have a dress made to my specifications, what sort of cost should I expect and how long will it take?

It is really important to go back to basics. Start with what shape suits your figure, then what colour suits your complexion, and then add different elements. If you decide on a designer, they will guide you and provide ideas to achieve your overall look. Dressmakers can be less expensive at around $700 to $1,800, with a Couture Gown designer offering a more customised design at upwards of $2,000. Remember, the style and detail of the dress will be reflected in the price. Ensure you allow at least 4 months.
