Commissioning a custom birthday dress

3LATO sketchbook with a custom birthday dress design illustration and fabric swatches at consultation

Commissioning a custom birthday dress starts with a brief: date, venue, mood, measurements, and how you want to feel in the room. Production is handmade to your numbers, not a rail size adjusted later.

Reach out on Instagram @3lato or email zlatina@3lato.com. Custom order pages hold FAQ detail on payment and deadlines.

What goes in a custom birthday dress brief?

Date, venue, mood references, support needs, colour direction, and re-wear intent. Include measurements from the sizing form. If the knit is new to you, a drop like the Acrylic Mini Sand Dress is a useful in-hand reference for cloth and proportion before you brief. Note if the party is surprise so timing can be discussed honestly.

How is a birthday dress cut to your measurements?

The pattern follows the same made-to-measure path as every commission: your submitted numbers drive the cut; measurements are reconfirmed one week before shipping. There is no separate boutique fitting schedule.

Can you rush a custom birthday dress?

Rush is possible only when a slot exists. Share the real party date at enquiry; the atelier accepts or declines based on bench load. See FAQ rather than assuming availability.

What happens after you approve the design?

Deposit secures production slot. The piece is handmade to measurements. Balance is paid before dispatch, then the dress ships with care notes for delicate work.

What if your birthday plans change date?

Contact as soon as plans shift. Slot and shipping are renegotiated case by case. Early honesty prevents missed deadlines.

A birthday commission moves smoothly when the date is real and the measurements are current.
