A Note From Your Designer

Dearest Client,

Thank you so much for choosing Ashani Couture to bring your vision to life. I am absolutely thrilled to begin this creative journey with you. The process of creating a custom garment is a unique and collaborative partnership. Over the next few weeks, we will work together to transform beautiful fabrics and inspired ideas into a piece that is uniquely and unapologetically *you*.

This packet is designed to guide you through our process and answer any questions you may have. My commitment is to ensure you not only love your final garment but also enjoy every moment of the experience.

Our Process: Your Journey

Step 1: Book Your Consultation
Your journey begins by booking a design consultation. A non-refundable fee of $125.00 is required, which will be credited toward your final balance if you decide to book with us.

Step 2: Create Your Design
Next, choose the Style Creator that's right for your garment: The Prom Style Creator, The Bridal Style Creator, or The Suit Style Creator. Using this tool to select your initial options provides the foundation for your custom piece and gives us a perfect starting point for our consultation.

Step 3: The Consultation
Now that you've made your initial selections, we'll sit down to discuss your vision in detail. We'll review your choices, talk about inspiration, and ensure we understand every element of your dream gown.

Step 4: The Sketch
Once the vision discussion is had, the sketch will be created. We will go back and forth to make sure the sketch is what you envision, refining every line and detail until it's perfect.

Step 5: Design & Fabric Selection
With your approved sketch as our guide, we finalize the design and select from a curated collection of luxurious fabrics. We'll explore textures, colors, and embellishments to find the perfect combination that reflects your personal style.

Step 6: Creation & Fittings
This is where the magic happens. Your gown is meticulously crafted by hand, and we'll invite you for several fittings throughout the process. These check-ins are crucial for making fine-tuned adjustments as we build your dress.

Step 7: The Final Reveal
At your final fitting, you'll try on your completed masterpiece! We will make any last-minute, minor adjustments to ensure every detail is flawless before you take it home.

Preparing for Your Fittings

  • Bring Your Shoes: Please bring the exact shoes you plan to wear with the garment to every fitting. This is essential for getting the hemline perfect.
  • Bring Your Undergarments: Wear the specific undergarments (bra, shapewear, etc.) you intend to wear on the day of your event. This dramatically affects the fit and drape of the garment.
  • Communicate Openly: Your comfort and satisfaction are my top priorities. Please be open and honest about how the garment feels. Your feedback is a vital part of the process!
