FAQ's

Great question! The price isn't one-size-fits-all. It really comes down to what you're dreaming up!

Want one of my existing designs in a different fabulous fabric? The price will be pretty close to what you see on the site.

Dreaming of something totally new with all the bells and whistles? That will be a different price point, as fancy fabrics and complex designs change the cost.

Most of my custom pieces fall somewhere between R600 and R5,000. The very best way to nail down a price? Just send me a message! Tell me your idea, share an inspo pic, and I'll give you an estimate.

Absolutely. I understand that a custom corset is an investment, and I want to make this process accessible.

I require a 50% non-refundable deposit to begin the design process and secure your materials and secure your spot in my queue. The remaining 50% balance is due upon completion of your corset, before shipping.

However, I am happy to work with you to break that final balance into manageable installments.

For example:

• Pay the 50% deposit to start and secure your spot in my queue, and then pay the final 50% in a single payment the following month.

• Pay the 50% deposit to start, and then split the final payment into two installments of 25% over the next two months.

Please reach out to me directly so we can discuss a flexible payment schedule and have a written agreement in place before we begin.

Get ready to chat! The process is super collaborative and we'll talk a lot to make sure I bring your dream corset to life.

• Step 2: The Plan: I'll create a design or idea board and give you a price estimate based on all the lovely details.

• Step 3: Let's Do This! Once you approve the design and price, a 50% deposit secures your spot in my queue and lets me buy all your beautiful materials.

• Step 4: I Get to Work: I'll send you updates and might ask you questions. I can make some changes to the corset if needed (Small tweaks are fine, but big changes might affect the price).

• Step 5: It's Ready! I'll show you your finished corset with photos and a video. After you give it a thumbs-up, just pay the final balance and I'll ship it out to you!

Absolutely! 

In addition to corsets, I love creating skirts, shirts, and other custom clothing.
