Rush Orders

If your required turnaround time is within 8 weeks of your first consultation, a 25% rush fee may apply, subject to service availability. To avoid this, it is recommended to contact me well in advance of your event - the earlier, the better.

 

For wedding dress alterations, you are welcome to book your consultation as soon as you have ordered your dress, even if it has not yet been delivered. This ensures the best scheduling options and helps avoid any potential rush fees.
