Prom Policies & Frequently Asked Questions
What is a prom consultation?
A prom consultation is a one-on-one session designed to discuss your vision, style preferences, budget, timeline, and expectations for a custom gown. This consultation allows the designer to determine if the project is a good fit and to begin the design process if both parties choose to move forward.
How much is the prom consultation?
The prom consultation fee is $75.
This fee secures your spot for the prom season, is required prior to any design work, and is applied toward your final gown cost if you proceed.
Consultation fees are non-refundable.
How do I book my consultation?
All consultations are scheduled through the designer’s official booking system. Once booked, clients are guided step-by-step through the consultation process.
Pricing & Payments
How much do custom prom gowns cost?
Custom prom gowns start at $1,000.
Final pricing is determined after the consultation and depends on design complexity, fabric selection, embellishments and detailing, timeline, and delivery method.
A formal quote is provided following the consultation.
Is a deposit required?
Yes. A non-refundable deposit of 30–50% of the total cost is required to begin production once the client chooses to move forward.
Deposits are not due at the time of consultation.
Do you offer payment plans?
