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 from payment to the completed gown. We recommend starting 10 months before your wedding so there is enough time for consultation, sketch revisions, production, delivery and any local alterations.
Can I customise a design from your collection instead?
Yes. The sketch consultation works for both: creating a fully custom gown from scratch or adapting one of our existing collection designs. We can change the neckline, sleeves, back, length, fabric and other details. Customisation starts with an additional €500 design fee.
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.
