CREATE WITH US

It all starts here — your Custom Design Consultation.
A relaxed, collaborative experience where your ideas take shape and we map out your ultimate design, from concept to creation.

What's included:

➳ A one-on-one design consultation (in person or virtual)
➳ A personalised sketch of your custom gown
➳ Custom measurements taken or guided remotely
➳ Fabric sourcing to match your vision
➳ Liaison between you and our production team to bring your design to life

We’ll chat through your wedding plans, inspiration images, personal style, and overall vision. Together, we’ll finalise the key design details — neckline, fabric, colour, train length, and more. Once fabrics have been selected, you’ll receive your sketch and a tailored quote for your custom gown.

Custom gowns generally range from $2,000–$4,000, depending on fabrics, details, and the complexity of the design. Most gowns take up to 14 weeks from order to arrival in studio.

Short on time? We offer a rush service for brides needing their gown sooner — in as little as 6-8 weeks from order to arrival in studio, for an additional $250 fee.

If you’re local, your quote also covers final alterations with our trusted seamstress (valued up to $500) — so there are no surprise costs later.

Step 2: Watch Your Dress Come to Life 

After your consultation and once your design is confirmed, we’ll begin with a mockup to perfect structure, shape, and fit. This first version is made from offcuts or lining fabric, so it won’t be your final colour or include every detail. You’ll receive photos to approve before we move forward.

From there, we’ll keep you updated as your dress comes together — lace placement, beadwork, and finally… your finished gown!

Each custom design is made to your measurements. Small tweaks are still common once the dress arrives, but if you’re local, final alterations (valued up to $500) are included in your quote and completed by our trusted seamstress — so there are no surprise costs later.

Step 3: The Big Reveal! 

Your custom design is ready! 
If you’re local, we’ll book you in for the big moment — trying it on for the very first time. If it needs a little tweak here or there (totally normal, even with custom sizing), our trusted seamstress will take care of it — all included in your quote.

Not nearby? No stress!
We’ll carefully ship your design with tracking and check in once it arrives to make sure everything’s just right.

The remaining balance is due when you collect your gown or before it’s shipped out.

Then it’s all yours — ready for the aisle, the dance floor, and every unforgettable moment ahead.

"I was only a few months out from my wedding and still hadn’t found my perfect dress — plus I live in NZ, so Covid courier times were on my mind. I contacted The LBB about a custom combo of two dresses with added sleeves. The whole experience was amazing: chill, supportive, and stress-free. I got regular updates, and the price was similar to many advertised gowns. I LOVED my dress when it arrived — exactly what I wanted, the quality was outstanding. Most importantly, I felt comfortable and confident on my big day".
