Sketch consultation

Your dress,
drawn for you

One session with your Lutien designer. You share what you've imagined — a photo, a feeling, a word. She draws it. You see it before a single stitch is cut.

What's included

Everything to start
your gown

  • 01
    Personal designer session
    You're matched with one designer who works with you start to finish. She reads your brief, asks the right questions, and understands your vision before she draws a single line.
  • 02
    Custom sketch of your gown
    A hand-drawn design made specifically for you — not a template, not a mood board. A real sketch of the dress as it would look on you, with your references in mind.
  • 03
    Fabric recommendation
    Your designer suggests the right fabric for the style — silk, crepe, mikado, organza — based on your vision, silhouette and season.
  • 04
    Full price quote
    You receive a complete all-inclusive price — design, fabric, construction, shipping to the US, DDP customs. No hidden fees, ever.
  • 05
    Original sketch mailed to you
    The hand-drawn sketch is yours — we mail the original to your address regardless of whether you place an order.
  • 06
    €69 credited to your order
    If you go ahead and order your gown, the €69 consultation fee is deducted from your total. You pay for the session only if you walk away without a dress.

Questions

Before you pay

What exactly happens after I pay?
Within one business day, your designer sends you a brief questionnaire — style, silhouette, occasion, references. Once you reply, she draws your sketch and sends it within 2–3 days. You review it, give feedback, and we refine until it's right.
What if I decide not to order a gown?
The €69 covers the designer's time and the sketch. If you decide not to go ahead, the original sketch is mailed to you — no further obligation. If you do order, the €69 is simply deducted from your gown price.
How long does production take after I approve the sketch?
Production takes 10–12 weeks for simpler gowns, up to 6 months for heavily embellished designs. We recommend booking at least 5–6 months before your wedding to allow time for the consultation, production and any local alterations.
Can I customise a ready-to-wear gown instead?
Yes. The sketch consultation works for both — fully custom from scratch, or adapting one of our existing designs. If you'd like to change the neckline, sleeve, back or length of a ready-to-wear style, we use the same process. Customisation is an additional €500 on top of the base gown price.
Is the €69 refundable if I change my mind?
No — the consultation fee is non-refundable because the design work was done specifically for you. You keep everything: the original sketch (mailed to you), the fabric selection, and the full design discussion. There is no obligation to continue to an order.
