Hi Maria, thank you so much. I’m confirming your custom-made order, which will be $3,500 AUD plus $250 AUD shipping. Please note that the total will automatically convert to USD at checkout.

We do require a $500 deposit to secure your order, and once this is received, I’ll schedule your appointment for next week. Before our video call, I’ll send through videos of the lace options for you to review. You can let me know which ones you love, and we can narrow down the final choices together during our call.

Once the lace is confirmed, a progress payment of $1,500 will be required so we can proceed with the gown order. Ideally, I’d like to begin the process as soon as possible, as the lace sourcing and preparation can take 1–2 months before we begin constructing the gown.

For peace of mind, I generally send gowns to the U.S. around 3–4 weeks before the christening date so they arrive safely and early. DHL is usually very reliable and quick, but we always prefer to allow extra time rather than leave anything to chance.

Thank you again so much for your order. I’m so excited to create something truly beautiful and special for your daughter.

Just confirming the design details: a romper with a detachable skirt, featuring two concepts with embroidery details. Also comes with matching bonnet and boots + complimentary bib bloomers and headband
