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.

Look it over — then send.

Here's what we'll receive. Edit by going back, or send it as it is.

What you've shared

Sent.

We've got it. Talk soon.

Your email program should be open with the message ready — if it didn't open, you can copy your details from the previous step and email us at office@hookeyestudio.com. We respond within two business days.

More questionnaire paths coming

This questionnaire currently serves direct-client commission and alterations paths. Additional question shapes — for wedding planners coordinating on behalf of a client, and for recreational-luxury archetypes (theme parties, festival royalty multi-generation builds) — will be added in upcoming iterations.
