Not sure if Fully Custom is right for you? We offer three distinct options: Made to Order, Semi-Custom, and Fully Custom. See all options.
If you have a question, ask us! There are no stupid questions, and we've made wedding dresses in 3 days (not our first recommendation, but life happens!), so know that the timelines presented here are just a starting point.
The fully custom experience is the process of making a completely original garment to your specifications, with David's direct involvement from concept through completion. This is for designs that don't exist in our archive—something truly one-of-a-kind.
We are here to guide you through your custom design experience. The below steps are a general guideline of what you can expect the process to look like. Keep in mind that each garment is unique to you so there can be variations in the process.
What is Fully Custom? Fully Custom is our most personalized service. Starting with a blank slate, we create a garment uniquely for you, from initial sketches to the final fitting. Every detail is tailored to your specifications, ensuring a one-of-a-kind creation with David's direct involvement throughout.
Ideal for: Those seeking an exclusive, bespoke garment that reflects their individual style and vision. Perfect for significant life events where nothing but the best will do, or when you have a design concept that doesn't exist in our archive.
Investment:
Timeline: 17 weeks minimum, depending on the complexity of the design. Rush fees available for shorter timelines.
Personalization Level: Unlimited! – from fabric and fit to intricate design details, with David's direct oversight.
There is a $500 Design Consultation Fee to reserve your appointment. The fee will be credited to your purchase should you move forward with Fully Custom. If during your consultation we determine your project can be achieved through Made-to-Order or Semi-Custom, the $500 will be credited to that order instead. If you decide not to proceed with any purchase, your fee will be converted into a store credit valid for David Peck products only (expires 2 months from consultation date).
Preparation Tips: Bring inspiration photos, know your event timeline, and have an open mind for creative exploration.
At your design consultation with David, we'll discuss ideas and inspirations for your custom garment. You will try on samples if necessary, and review fabric and embellishment options before approving a final design. Be sure to bring any inspiration that you may have—Pinterest pictures, existing garments, fashion editorials!
At this appointment, we will also quote the price of the garment. When you are ready to move forward, we take your measurements and schedule all of your fittings and pick-up date.
During this appointment, you'll try on a prototype or muslin of your garment to get an idea of the shape and silhouette on your body. A muslin is a mockup of your design in a simple fabric. It is at this fitting that we can make any design changes that need to be made before cutting the garment in the final fabric.
What to bring: The undergarments (especially the bra) you plan to wear with your garment.
Fabric Fitting(s)
At your fabric fitting, you will try your garment on in the chosen fabric from your design consultation. If you have the actual shoes or shoes of similar height that you plan to wear with your garment, please bring them so we can adjust the hem length. Bring the proper undergarments so that you can see the exact fit. Any alterations or adjustments will be made at this fitting. The number of subsequent fabric fittings will vary depending on the complexity of the design.
What to bring: Shoes (or similar height) and proper undergarments.
This is the very last fitting before you take the garment home with you. If you have the actual shoes or shoes of similar height you plan to wear with your garment, please bring them, as well as the proper undergarments so that you can see the accurate fit. It is important to us at David Peck that your garment fits you perfectly and that you feel beautiful and are in love with the end result once you leave us.
The best part of our job is making you feel like the best version of yourself!
What to bring: Shoes, proper undergarments, and (optional) jewelry or accessories for the complete look.
