FAQ's
Who should I bring for fittings?
I recommend bringing no more than 2 supportive friends (small studio space) and please ask for no children, animals, or messy food or drinks!
Do you make black wedding dresses?
You are my muse. I will make your dress in whatever colour you choose and ensure that it speaks to your authentic personal vibe, but...elevated.
What happens if I'm overseas?
Brides travel to me from overseas! If that's not possible for you, contact me to see how I can still help.
How long is a Black Diamond fitting appointment?
1-2 hours, however you can’t rush art; I want to be certain of what I need to make and I want more than anything for you to feel happy and reassured by the progress of your bespoke wedding gown.
Can you copy a design I've seen elsewhere
I can, but I won't. It's neither legal, nor ethical to copy another designer's work after they've put time and soul into their development. Besides, I would translate it in my style and you may not be content with that.
I can take inspiration from a dress in terms of overarching style.
When should I book for the Black Diamond bespoke experience?
Brides have booked as far in advance as 2 years, to ensure my availability, however I start the process 1 year ahead of your wedding date.
Do you offer evening and weekend appointments?
Evening appointments are available Monday – Friday until 6.00pm (last start time) and Saturdays 11.00am – 4.00pm.
If you are coming a long way, or have a tricky schedule, we can usually find a workable solution, so just contact me.
When do I need to settle my balance by?
For bespoke, 6 weeks prior to you collecting the gown.
Do you make traditional bridalwear?
All kinds of brides are catered for. If you can't find the perfect dress in stores, I can help and respect your wish to be traditional.
I just personally love colour!
How does payment work?
To book me, you will need to pay the first £1,000 of the final price. The next £1,000 is due when fabric and toile have been approved. The balance is due 6 weeks before collection of the gown.
I accept bank transfers for this and if you prefer, you can pay in monthly instalments, finishing 6 weeks before gown collection.
What should I bring to my bespoke gown fittings?
For your first fitting, please wear/bring:
- a supportive underwired bra that gives you a nice shape
- black leggings
- black snug T-shirt/vest
- wedding shoes, or shoes of similar height
Any colour references, inspo pics, accessories etc...
For subsequent fittings, please bring the shoes.
