FAQs
How do I order a gown from your collection?
Please send an email to info@danisimonecouture.com to inquire about your chosen gown. Please let us know your wedding date and location, your desired fabrication (natural fibers such as silk or cotton or synthetic fabrics), your approximate US or UK dress size and whether you’d prefer virtual or in-person appointments for your consults and fittings as well as any design customizations you are requesting. Someone from our team will confirm your request and get back to you with a quote.
What customizations do you offer?
We are able to offer a variety of customizations to make your dress uniquely yours. Email us with any inspiration images you have for an accurate quote. Our designer takes creative control of all customizations, so please understand that we will not copy your inspiration exactly. You will be sent a sketch of your gown’s customizations with your deposit or payment in full to confirm final details.
How are my measurements handled?
For brides wishing to travel to Connecticut for their fittings, we will take your measurements in person and record them. For virtual brides, we can provide a Measurement Guide and Form for you to complete with a trusted professional tailor or seamstress. Once submitted, our design team confirms all details before creating your initial pattern and toile. For either choice, we will provide you with a detailed pre-appointment checklist to ensure you have the proper attire, undergarments, and accessories.
How do you handle payments?
You will receive an invoice for payment either in full or for 60% of the total for your gown, including tax. Your gown must be paid in full before it is released to you. We accept all major credit cards.
How long does the process take from start to finish?
The creation of a bespoke gown takes approximately 7-12 months, depending on the complexity of the design. This timeline ensures the artistry, precision, and care required to create a true couture masterpiece. For brides with tighter timelines, we offer rush orders on a limited basis for an additional fee, guaranteeing the same level of luxury and meticulous attention to detail.
What is the starting investment for your collection gowns?
Our collection gowns start at $8500 for synthetic fabrics and $12,000 for natural fabrics with final pricing determined by the design, choice of fabrics, and intricacy of details such as lacework, embroidery, and embellishments. Each gown is made-to-order and made-to-measure.
How will I stay updated during production?
You will receive exclusive updates every 4-6 weeks, including photos of progress, key details like lace placement or beadwork, and requests for approvals. This ensures your gown evolves exactly as envisioned.
Can I order additional pieces, such as a veil or reception gown?
Yes. In addition to your collection bridal gown, we can create complementary pieces such as veils, capes, or reception gowns. We also design bespoke gowns of any kind—from evening wear to special occasion gowns. Please feel free to share your requests, and we will ensure every piece reflects your vision and aligns with the artistry of your experience.
All items will be shipped together upon completion for your convenience unless otherwise requested.
Is my information kept private throughout the process?
Absolutely. We prioritize discretion and privacy at every stage. Your experience is conducted with the utmost confidentiality, and we do not share client imagery publicly without explicit permission. As we no longer utilize social media, your privacy is further safeguarded, ensuring you feel completely secure throughout the process.
What if I have questions or need further support during the process?
Our team is available to provide support and guidance at every step. You will have direct access to updates, approvals, and a private Client Page, where all details, sketches, and communications are seamlessly managed.
