Our Design Process

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BELOW SO THERE IS NO CONFUSION

WE ONLY OFFER A LIMITED AMOUNT OF SPOTS PER MONTH SO ORDERING ASAP IS BEST KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT AND BEING VERY DESCRIPTIVE Is RECOMMENDED WHEN INQUIRING ABOUT A DESIGN. THERE IS NO BASE PRICE BECAUSE MATERIALS AND CERTAIN DESIGNS ALL COST DIFFERENT.

To inquire about a custom item please fill out a form on our contact page please provide us with the following

1. Your name and IG handle
2. Phone number
3. Where you are located
4. What you are looking for ( color, style, material)
5. Your budget
6.  Send us your email on IG @Thezusscollection and picture examples of the style you want so we can get a clear understanding. I try not to copy other designs so I will illustrate or suggest my own tweaks or offer designs I'm already interested in.

We will try to get back with you as soon as possible. (Please remember any Inspo dresses aren’t always going to be exact but similar.)

Step 1- Consultation 

- In person consultation requires a $25 non refundable fee/ does not apply to garment design)

• Measurements

• Discussion of design/fabrics/ other materials

• Rough illustration or photo example

( I will provide you with a rough estimate of what your design will cost. Final cost will be emailed to you via invoice once fabrics are located. Price is determined by materials+ labor)

- Out of state consultations  Require a traveling fee anywhere in the NC area Is $150 or to VA Is a $150  to SC or ATL its a $300 fee if you want me to travel any other states need to be able to pay airfare expenses. This is only IF you WANT SPECIAL fitting and measurements sew unless you travel to me! This Isn't necessary but it ensures the best fit, If you choose not to go this route your garment will be made to the measurements you provide me  be aware your weight can fluctuate throughout the days. I will provide a list of measurements needed you can go to a local tailor to receive accurate measurements. I am not responsible for any garment fitting problems based on the measurements provided unless you pay to get fitted exactly. 

 

All deposits for materials are NON-REFUNDABLE. All dress require a half deposit for materials and the rest won't be due until the dress Is done in order to be shipped out or fitted.

Step 2- Fabric Search

• This process can take from 1-4 weeks, this includes shipment of products. (bridal normally takes 3-4 weeks or anything that comes over seas)

 depending on supply and demand. Our goal is to take the time needed to guarantee desired fabric(s).

• We typically send 3-4 different fabric choices via email OR IG which ever works best. If swatches are available, there is a charge of $3 per swatch.

Note: Some suppliers do not offer swatches due to delicate fabrics but will send the clearest photos

• Design total price will be sent with fabric choice

 

Step 3- Deposit

• 50% is due to begin design process This Is usually for materials so this Is NON-REFUNDABLE. Balance is due on 2nd /last fitting or once your garment Is done. (We accept payment via invoice, or cash app $Mozuss)

 

Step 4- Mock Design

• We will create a mock design before the actual cut of fabric. Once that is completed,  we will schedule our initial fitting with you. Our mock patterns allow us to get a better fit and pattern to create the final gown/dress.

• Note: Please bring under garments and shoes that will be used while wearing your garment.  If you do not have your ideal shoe at this time, please bring a shoe that will be close to the heel height.

Step 5- Design cut

We will give you an estimate date/time that your garment will be completed and schedule your next garment fitting.

 

Step 6- Final fitting(s)

• Gown fit will determine if additional fitting will be necessary.

• Final payment is due with signature of approval
