Discuss your preferred silhouette, fabric, and color. Choose a size from our chart or request production using your personal measurements for an additional fee.
Allow time for the details
Your garment is made to order. Standard production is approximately 6–9 months, depending on the design. Allow additional time for shipping and any local alterations.
A LITTLE CLARITY BEFORE YOU BEGIN
GOOD TO KNOW.
Your questions, thoughtfully answered.
All FAQs & policiesCan you create a dress from my inspiration photos?
Yes. We can use your saved images as inspiration for a custom wedding or evening dress, and incorporate your requested changes. The result depends on your budget, timing, fabrics, and the detail of the design. An inspired design is not an exact copy of the original garment.
How much does a made-to-order dress cost?
Made-to-order designs start at $800. Our existing website lists an average of around $1,500, with heavily embellished designs usually near $2,500. Personal measurements, design changes, upgraded fabrics, and rush production may add to the price. Request an estimate for your specific design.
How far in advance should I get in touch?
Standard production is approximately 6–9 months and varies by design. Please allow as much time as possible for production, shipping, and adjustments. Rush production options may be available for an additional fee; confirm your wear date with our team before proceeding.
Can I choose the color, fabric, and size?
Yes. You can request your preferred color and fabric, provide an example, or discuss materials inspired by a photograph. Choose from our size chart or request personal-measurement production, currently listed at a $150 surcharge on our main website.
Can I visit a showroom or book an appointment?
Darius Cordell is an online-only design business. We do not offer in-person appointments or off-the-rack inventory. The made-to-order process is handled remotely by phone and written correspondence.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Garments can be shipped worldwide to destinations served by USPS, FedEx, or UPS. Shipping charges for made-to-order garments vary. Ask our team about your destination and allow time for delivery.
