Booking FAQs

We offer two distinct types of appointments to match where you are in your bridal journey:
Custom Appointments: Choose this if you want to create a brand-new gown or completely reimagine a vintage family heirloom. This path begins with a complimentary consultation where we discuss your vision, sketches, and fabrics.
Curated Appointments: Choose this if you are ready to explore and try on our collection. This is a shopping appointment to browse our hand-selected vintage wedding dresses, our exclusive Maybelle original designs, as well as our veils and accessories.
-
There is no fee! Our initial custom consultations are completely complimentary. It’s a relaxed, 15-minute conversation to chat about your vision, look over any ideas you have, and see how we can bring your dream dress to life.
-
The fee for a curated shopping appointment is $120.
This is a non-refundable styling fee that secures a private, dedicated 90-minute session in the atelier for you and your guests. This fee covers Christine’s dedicated time, design expertise, and personalized styling guidance as you try on our collection. Please note that this is a standalone charge for the appointment experience and is not applied toward the purchase price of a gown or accessories.

Yes, you are absolutely welcome to bring guests! Because we host only one appointment at a time, our studio becomes your own private sanctuary for the full 90 minutes.
Our space comfortably holds 2 guests, but we can accommodate up to 4. Keeping your group to this size ensures everyone has a comfortable seat and keeps the atmosphere intimate, relaxed, and focused entirely on you.

If you have a vintage piece you'd like to wear, we would love to see it!
Please start by booking a 15-minute complimentary Custom Consultation. During this quick chat, we will discuss your gown and determine the best path forward. Depending on your needs, your project will fall into one of two categories:
Heirloom Reimagining: If you want to significantly alter the design, update the silhouette, or use the materials to create something brand new.
Vintage Tailoring: If the gown just needs expert, specialized fitting and restorations to make it wearable.
If we move forward with Vintage Tailoring, your first fitting is a dedicated 1-hour appointment with a $199 appointment fee. During this hour, we will meticulously pin the dress, evaluate its construction, and give you an exact price quote for the work.
How to book: Click the "Custom" button above to schedule your initial, complimentary 15-minute consultation, and we will guide you from there!

Because true vintage pieces are one-of-a-kind, our inventory changes constantly, and vintage sizing runs significantly smaller than modern clothing. Most of our off-the-rack vintage gowns fall between a modern size 0 to 12.
If you are a modern size 14 or above: Please shoot us an email before booking! We want to make sure you have a beautiful selection to try on. We can chat about what we currently have in the showroom that might work for you.
Love a piece but need it larger? We are experts at extensive reworking and can often expand or restructure existing vintage dresses to fit you beautifully. Because this requires specialized design work and extra materials, it does require a flexible budget, which we are happy to discuss during a consultation.
