CUSTOMIZATION STEPS:
Please note that customization starts at a minimum price of $500. Even minor adjustments require meticulous changes throughout our entire sewing process. Our commitment is to deliver the highest quality in every gown, supported by the expertise of our skilled team.
We take pride in valuing and fairly compensating our professionals, ensuring that every detail meets our uncompromising standards. Customization is more than just a change – it’s a thoughtfully managed process designed to craft the perfect dress for you.
Choose a perfect dress that you like but wish to adjust a little.
Find out the parts that you would like to change (is it different color, fabrics, sleeves, train length, or something else?).
Message us with your ideas and our staff will do everything possible to help you with adjustments, and whether this or that customization is possible. Then settle the list of all customizations with our staff.
Purchase the dress. Modifications are usually paid, while size alterations are always free.
Tailoring takes 10-15 weeks, but always depends on each dress. You can learn more from your bridal assistant.
When the dress is ready to be packed and shipped, we will send you a video of the final result.

I am a Muslim woman, and a hijabi (I dress modestly, including coving my hair). It was hard for me to find a wedding dress within my budget that I was in love with and met my modesty-needs without significant alterations. They customized the top to meet the modesty requirements I requested. This was the most stress-free, amazing process I could have imagined. The quality and workmanship of my wedding dress was OUTSTANDING.
Deanna C.
I am SO glad I did! I customized the Elise to full length with a chapel train and everything was so quick, efficient, and the customer service was top notch!!
Lynn J.
Thank you both so much for making my dream dress come true. I asked for a customization to the Audrey dress - replacing the off-the-shoulder neckline with a one-shoulder style, and they executed it flawlessly!
Kaitlin W.
I requested shorter sleeves and a thicker lace for the corset back. The color was changed to blush and they added a lace-up back. The sleeves and color matched my skin tone and the dress has a stunning sparkle. I am beyond happy with the dress and my customer experience with Kate was exceptional. She kept me informed, asked for clarification when needed, and even sent fabric videos when I changed my mind. I am extremely grateful.
O.F.
I ordered my wedding dress custom made to order and added pockets and a bustle. The mikado fabric is so beautiful and feels so thick and expensive.

I got in contact with one of the reps at Olivia Bottega and talked about a few of the adjustments that I wanted to make (raising the "v" a little bit, lowering the back, opening up the arm holes) and they quoted me an extremely reasonable add on price to the dress. I approved the changes and ordered the dress in custom sizing to make sure it fits like a glove. When they finished making the dress, they sent me a video of it completed and shipped it promptly!
P.
It was definitely a risk ordering a dress online without seeing anything in person but the OB team was fantastic throughout. Gave my measurements and the dress fit like a glove. As well, I made several customizations and they accommodated very smoothly (lengthened dress, brought up bust line, added slit and pockets).
Caraline
I cannot recommend enough to opt for the custom sizing mine came fitting like a glove, no alterations needed! I also added a corset back which made it even more special.
Michelle D.
I ordered the Selena dress in May and it arrived in July for my September wedding. I added a slit customization. When I tried it on, it fit perfectly! I didn't have to make any alterations.
