We know times are tough!!!

We also know how much a fabulous new gown will lift a lady's spirits.

It is our aim to lift as many ladies out of their doldrums as possible. 

To this end, we have devised a plan!

If you find that having one the dresses on this site will lift your spirits but you can't afford to pay the full amount up front, let us know. 

We will happily to work out a payment arrangement.  Typically, this arrangement would consist of 50% down and the balance paid within 90 days.   As soon as full payment is received, your dress will be shipped to you. 

Of course, this policy also applies to gowns and dresses made especially for you.

Prices for ready made and custom made gowns vary depending on fabrics, trims and number of pieces.  the prices listed below are  "in general" and are subject to change. 

Ready made two piece day dress:  $750 - $850

Custom made two piece day dress:  $850 - $1,000

Additional evening bodice:  $250 - $350

"Imperial" ball gowns & custom made ball gowns:  $1,100 - $1,500

 

As of January 1, 2008 a financial commitment of 50% of the estimated total price will be required for all custom made gowns before the gown is begun.  The balance must be paid in full before the gown is shipped.

 

There, I'll bet you feel better already.  Right?
