Pricing
Katrina Marie Exclusive Designs include one-of-a-kind creations
and couture gown designs made
just for
you! The average cost of our exclusive designs are between
$5,000 to
$10,000
depending on the style and amount of gown detail. Please do not
contact us about this kind of work if this is not in your
budget.
Our
exclusive designs cost more than our made-to-order collections
because these gowns are specifically create for our clients,
from the design to the finished garment. We spend more time
discussing, designing and creating an exclusive design. Also the
fabrics used to create these gowns can be more expensive and may
include metallic, brocade, silk velvet, beaded lace, embroidered
trims and hand-beading.
Interested in having Katrina Marie create your gown?
Please contact the designer to discuss your ideas, thoughts and
desires. Although she prefers to meet in person when designing,
you may call or email with your ideas. Please understand that we
can not give exact estimates without a
rough idea of the designs.
Before we start designing any
gown we will need a $300
deposit (non-refundable).
This is for a 1-hour
appointment (in-person
or by phone) with the designer discussing your gown ideas,
fabric & trim options.
If more
design consultation is needed it will be charged at a rate of
$150 an hour.
After discussing your gown we
will quote a price that includes the design and construction of
your garment.
At that
time a
50%
payment
is due to
put your gown on our schedule. Then we start making your gown
which usually takes 4-6 months and when your gown is ready to be
shipped the balance is due.
