BESPOKE ARTISTRY
Your vision brought to life.
Crafted in Utah, every gown is brought to life with you at the center. Built to your exact measurements and designed with your needs and wants in mind, every detail is carefully considered to flatter your body, accentuate your movement, and give you the confidence of a dress made perfectly for you.
Tell Me Your Vision
Every custom gown begins with a conversation about your vision, style, and goals on the floor. From the initial sketch to the final stitch, your dress is crafted to your exact measurements, ensuring a flawless fit and clean, competition-ready lines.
I work closely with you through fabric selection, color palettes, embellishment levels, and movement needs to create a design that feels uniquely yours. Whether you dance Latin, Rhythm, Smooth, or Standard, your dress will be tailored to support your technique and reflect your personality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about crafting your one-of-a-kind Ardor creation.
What is the typical timeline for a custom ballroom gown?
The custom design process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the gown and shipping times for certain materials. I recommend reaching out as early as possible before your competitive season starts.
How much does a custom gown cost, and how does payment work?
Custom designs start at $1,200, depending on the level of stoning, fabrics, and complexity. During the consultation, your budget will be taken into account to create a design that delivers the best possible look, movement, and quality within your price range.
Payment is split into 2 payments. The down payment is due before the creation process begins, and is half the quoted price. The second payment consists of the remaining balance once the final cost of the dress is determined, plus the full amount of tax.
For example: if your quote is $1400-$1600, you will pay $800 to start your project and the remaining balance of $600-$800 plus the full tax amount before reciecing the finish creation.
How does the consultation work?
Your consultation begins with a conversation about your dancing style, design preferences, and competition needs. You’ll share inspiration photos, colors you love, and any specific features you want. From there, I’ll get your measurements, discuss fabric, color, and stoning options, and map out the overall vision for your dress.
Are revisions allowed during the creation phase?
I will create 2-3 sketches during the sketch phase, with up to 2 revisions from there. Major structural changes once fabric has been cut may incur additional fees. I stay in contact with progress photos to ensure the gown meets your vision throughout the process.
