Since everything is made to order, the budget and timeline must allow for full custom production rather than a proxy rush.
The website says rush orders are possible—e.g., production in as little as 2 months—but implies that more time allows better outcome.
They recommend planning for approximately 6-9 months production time for a custom dress, depending on design complexity.
