Customization of Your Dream Dress – Olivia Bottega

At our beautiful store we only create top fashionista designs for every budget, getting inspired by our brides and always following fashion trends, without paying attention to the fast fashion. But we also respect every bride’s wish to be as unique as possible, so we made it a reality for you to get your own dream dress, based on our fashion views. Because it may be a whole other challenge to make a dress from scratch, we made it as easy as possible: you can combine dress parts that you find most flattering, without purchasing several dresses.


What does it mean, you may ask? It is simple: if you like this dress’s fabric, but those other dress’s sleeves, and that particular dress’s skirt and the other dress’s back, and perhaps you want to add some pockets to the skirt, and make the plunging V-neck a semi sweetheart - you’re in luck, because we can easily customize your deepest dreams to come true.

EASY CUSTOMIZATION STEPS

  1. Choose a perfect dress that you like but wish to adjust after you, just a bit.
  2. Find out necessary parts that you would like to change (is it different color, fabrics, sleeves, train length, or something else?).
  3. Message us with your ideas and our managers will do everything possible to help you with adjustments, and whether this or that customization is possible to add, then settle the list of all customizations with the manager.
  4. Purchase the dress. Modifications are usually paid, while size alterations are always free.
  5. Tailoring takes 8-10 weeks, but always depends on each dress. You can learn more from your manager.
  6. After the dress is ready to be packed and shipped, we will send you a video of the final result.
  7. Receive your own and perfect, one of a kind dreamy wedding dress.

* (please note, that we aren’t able to recreate other brand’s dresses, or create a whole new dress based on your ideas, we are only able to adjust after your wishes, the dresses from our store)
