Please use this measurements guide and visit a local tailor/seamstress in your area to have your measurements taken using our size/measurements sheet. Some gowns need additional measurements. Contact Brides & Tailor before taking any measurements to ensure that you have the updated measurements chart. Even if you place the order and choose standard sizes, we will be in contact with you and will need custom measurements for a precise fit.

1)We accept Etsy Payments via Etsy Checkouts. You will need a Credit card or paypal to be able to check out here.

2) Klarna is now available on Etsy and based on credit score check, customers can pay for their dress in monthly installments

3)We do offer 50% downpayment options, but this is only available via our website.

3)Customers based in the US also have the option of applying to interest-free monthly payments with our payment partner, Paypal on our website. This will be discussed with the customer if it's something that would be considered.

NOTE- For all custom orders, after discussing the design with the bride, a private custom listing would be sent out on ETSY.

Brides & Tailor is mostly an Ecommerce small business so the entire process can be done online from A-Z. We work with brides all over the US and we are not a traditional boutique where customers can shop off the rack. After the dress is finished, it is shipped directly to the bride. Final fittings with our local seamstress in Canton, Michigan can be arranged for local Michigan brides after the dress is finished.

Brides can also book bridal consultations by visiting our website.

From the beginning of the process, we make sure we are transparent with our brides all through the way. After we receive inspirational photos or sketches of the design that the bride wants, we first make sure that the material is available and that the end result of the dress would be at least 80% similar to the end result that the bride has in mind. We only use the inspirational photos to understand the overall concept the bride is looking for. WE DO NOT COPY DESIGNER GOWNS. We only use high quality material for all of our gowns. Throughout the process, we keep the customer updated about the process and we share the photos of the gown with the customer before shipping!

Brides & Tailor’s objective is to provide brides with the dream wedding dress that they want in the size that fits them. The customer has the option of entering standard measurements for checking out. However, after checking out, the bride will be receiving our detailed step by step measurements guide and wil be asked to get measured at a local/seamstress in her area. After she sends us her measurements, we replicate these on a mannequin to ensure they look rational. If any of the measurements looks concerning, we will contact the customer back/ ask her to double check. The measurements are pretty straight-forward and the bride will need to go through the guided photos before visiting any seamstress to ensure they're being taken correcty.

Absolutely yes! We are here to open up all the options for the bride who does not want to choose a traditional white wedding dress. We have many color charts available depending on the material so we do not have them posted on the website since there are so many catalogues. Contact us if you have specific color preference and we'll make sure we have it before you order.

No problem! We are here to provide you with an in-house design/tailoring experience. As long as you still have time for the changes, we will be studying the changes and see if there are any associated additional expenses to it. If it is just a minor amendment, we can do it for you! Extensive changes are probably going to be hard to make especially if they are requested closer to the finishing stage,

Brides & Tailor has a team of dedicated and contracted professional haute couture and bridal designers and tailors-local and international so we are able to provide our customers with fast turn-over without impacting the quality and the techniques used on all our bridal gowns. You do not need to wait 9-12 months for your bridal gown to be finished, because it can be finished in as quickly as 12 weeks!

Our processing times are 12-14 weeks on average and most of our brides order their gowns at least 8 months before the wedding. Our custom gowns pass through a rigorous quality inspection process after they are finished so this is why it is always preferable for our brides to avoid last minute dress orders and to plan making their order in adv

We ship our bridal gowns using Fedex Home Delivery and USPS Priority Mail for tracked and quick shipping. The dress will be folded carefully to make sure the beading and all the work is kept protected, and it will be placed in our Dust-Proof High Quality Garment Bag to keep the dress clean and neat inside the thick and reliable packaging box. All packages must be signed for. Couriers cannot leave the packages outside at the porch/ front area.

As with any custom wedding dress, some minor alterations might be necessary for the bride. If you visit the bridal salon in Michigan, have your final fitting service with us , and realize there are a few tweaks that need to be made for the dress to fit perfectly, we will gladly take care of that for you. Brides who get their gowns shipped usually do not need any amendments for the dresses since they are custom made in their own size, so if there are minor changes needed like removing minor inches, any local tailor can help with that. We do not cover the cost of alterations. If the dress needs extra fabric/material for minor changes, we will gladly help the bride with that.
