Tell us what you're picturing

Let's start the conversation.

A short, guided form — pick the path that fits and answer what you can. No fields are required to advance, and there are no right answers. We'll read every word and respond within two business days.

Heads up — every project is one-of-a-kind.

What you share here helps us start the conversation. Pricing comes from the conversation, not from this form.

Custom-work cost depends on materials, complexity, fittings, timeline, and the specific shape of your project. We use tier-bands to give you an early sense of where something tends to land — not fixed quotes. The honest number comes after we've talked.

Treat anything that looks like a price below as the shape of how we talk, not a number to plan around.

Step 1

Before we start.

This form takes about five minutes. You'll pick a path (commission, alteration, or just talking) and answer a few questions about your project. At the end, we'll build an email that gets you to a real conversation with us.

If something doesn't apply, skip it. If you'd rather just talk now, you can jump straight to the contact step at any point.

What brings you in?

Pick the path that fits best. You can switch later if it turns out something else makes more sense.

Your build.

A few questions about what you're picturing. Answer what you know; the rest we'll figure out together.

What kind of build? Pick one. The closest fit is fine — we'll narrow it in conversation.
If you don't know yet, that's fine. We use silhouette names at the consultation to translate "what you're picturing" into "what we'd build." (A visual selector for bridal silhouettes is on the roadmap; for now it's words.)
Anything you've already pictured for fabric or finish — or "no idea, recommend." Sketches, screenshots, descriptions all welcome.
Pinterest board, image gallery, character reference for cosplay, etc. One link is plenty.
A specific date is great if you have one. "Spring 2027" or "I'm flexible" also work.
Investment-range sense (optional) Where do you imagine this project sitting? Choose the band closest to your thinking; we'll talk specifics in conversation. What "investment range" means.
Notes, context, the sentimental story, the funny detail that matters — we read all of it.

Your alteration or restoration.

A few quick questions about the piece. Alterations and restoration explained.

Wedding dress, suit jacket, bridesmaid dress, vintage coat, costume piece, etc.
What does it need? Pick what applies; you can pick more than one.
Roughly. "Newish, just doesn't fit" / "vintage, fragile" / "my grandmother's, 70s, structurally fine."
Specific date or general window.
Drop-off or fitting in shop? For most alterations we'll want at least one fitting. Drop-off-and-pickup works for some hems and simple closures.
Photo links, sentimental context, "be careful with the lining" — whatever helps us read the piece before you bring it in.

How can we reach you?

Just enough to start the conversation. We won't add you to a list; this email goes to one person.

Only if calling is your preference.

Wedding-planner B2B questionnaire path — Pass C output pending

This questionnaire serves direct-client entry points (the bride / cosplayer / client themselves filling it out). A planner-side path — a wedding planner or production coordinator submitting on behalf of a client, with a different question shape (multi-vendor coordination, lead-time-and-buffer language, planner-client commission triangle, B2B procurement framing) — is scope-locked here pending Phase F Pass C demand-side wedding-planner research.

Once Pass C lands, a planner-fork option will be added at Step 1 (or as a sub-path under Path 1 commission), and this gap-block will be retired at S51 public transform.

Gap-source: Phase E.0 audit gap-matrix — bride STRONG / planner WEAK (moderate gap). Close-source: Phase F Pass C output back-fill.

Recreational-luxury question shape — Pass D output pending

This questionnaire's commission-lane handles cosplay-build entry points (Comic Con / convention / theater) but does not yet shape questions for the recreational-luxury archetypes — wealthy costume-party-attendee (theme-party costuming, themed-event vocabulary, couture-vs-build positioning) and Rose Festival families (heirloom-continuity, multi-generation gown sequencing, festival-specific titles and pageantry framing). Both archetypes show input-vocabulary gaps in current substrate; question wording would default to bride or cosplay framing in ways that miss the archetype.

Once Pass D lands, recreational-luxury question-shapes will be added under Path 1 commission build-type, and this gap-block will be retired at S51 public transform.

Gap-source: Phase E.0 audit gap-matrix — wealthy costume-party WEAK / Rose Festival OUTPUT-rich INPUT-vocabulary-poor. Close-source: Phase F Pass D output back-fill (recreational-luxury combined pass).
