If you need this service BOOK EARLY and pay/ purchase the $250 base only not do base-only costumes.
• Everytime we remake any previous designs of ours that you may see  here or on social media keep in mind that all appliques are hand made and dyed and can vary or may need to be substituted by something similar. Stonework or rhinestoning can and  will  also vary slightly. No design will be 100% exact due to the custom nature of our work. We will also not provide a sketch or digital design sketch for remakes of past designs.
