Version of our Go-Ahead gown, but with one revision prior to the completion and shipping of your order. Note: this is only prior to shipping, not after. This is not eligible for adding later if you decided to go without the revision option and received your order already. In that case, you will need to just work with your local tailor to make changes.

This is a great option for those who are interested in the Go Ahead Gown option, but not 100% sure about the TOTAL surprise element. Prior to full completion and shipping of your order we will send you pictures of your gown, that you are given the ability to make one round of revisions to (with up to 3 different elements to be changed only). These include the following and may be subject to approval/refusal if request isn’t technically possible.

Possible Revisions CAN include:

• adding color or adjusting the color to darker, less saturated, more saturated, etc.

• adding or removing straps

• removing/adding a sleeve

• removing or adding volume to the skirt (within reason)

• adding or removing a decorative (non structural) embellishment

• shortening length of skirt, bodice or sleeve

• reshaping of the neckline (within reason/capability)

Revisions that can NOT be made by us:

• adding length to a skirt or bodice

• completely changing the material used (ex - going from a chiffon to a taffeta)

• Removing color or doing from darker to lighter color. (we can only dye darker)

• structural change requests that may make the dress unstable/unsupported (example - removing the straps and lowering the front and back necklines too significantly)

• Removal of any existing seams

• Sending a photo of an entirely different gown and requesting it to be made instead

How this version goes:

1. You submit your order with keywords and we interpret and produce (as usual)

2. About 8-12 weeks in the process, we will send you photos of your gown before all details are fully finalized.

3. You state clearly your requested revisions (of changing up to 3 different/separate elements ) We will let you know if any are not possible.

4. Once revisions are approved, we make the changes and complete the production of your gown.

5. Gown is completed and shipped to you, and you do not see another photo until you receive it.

This option is a unique experience, but isn’t for everyone. For a flat (discounted) fee, you will get a custom made gown that will be created based off of your 3 inspiration words, and then we will create a one of a kind gown using this information as a guide. You are handing over total creative license to our team, and then you will receive your custom gown about 18-20 weeks later. We can only do rush options up to 10 weeks for this option. This service is limited to online service only.

This option is NOT for everyone, because it can be nerve-wracking to not know what your custom piece will look like. This option is also discounted, because of that unknown factor. (Normally, custom gowns start at $4500). Please read through the following to see if this is a good option for you:

1. You are okay with NOT knowing what your gown will look like until complete.

2. You have total faith in our team, and are willing to hand over creative license.

3. You consider yourself flexible, easy going, and not a control-freak. For real!

4. This option is online-only. There are no in-person or virtual consultations appointments.

   Made to order using only repurposed/recycled materials, utilizing zero-waste cutting and techniques. Please allow up to 20 weeks for gown to be made..

Some of the best custom gown creations we have ever done are when Leanne is given creative license and to create freely based off of a little direction. Our clients that have chosen this option in the past have been delighted by their surprise gowns. (you can see some on our instagram page @leannemarshallofficial. And a few of the finished dresses in the photos of this listing).

All gowns will be made of the finest silks and materials, fully lined and constructed with the same high standards as our signature collection gowns. All made of dead-stock and/or repurposed silk material to support our eco-friendly and sustainable practices.

Why do we offer this option? Because it serves 3 great purposes:

1. It allows our team & Leanne to use creative license, which is fun work to do!

2. It allows us to utilize materials thoughtfully and sustainably by utilizing back-stock and/or remnant material.

3. You get a custom gown at a great discount in exchange for trusting us and giving us the “go -ahead” making our custom gowns more accessible to clients.

How It Works:

To begin this process, simply select a size and agree to the terms and proceed through checkout. At the time of ordering, you must select your 4 inspiration words. They can be anything, for example: “red, long-sleeves, V-neck, asymmetrical, gradient” etc. We count compound words such as “side-slit” or “square-neck” as one word only. Your words can only be changed within 48 hours after purchase. After that, the production begins, and they cannot be changed. The words serve as an inspiration and guide, but do understand that this leaves plenty of room for creativity and interpretation. If your words are “red, long-sleeves, V-neck, gradient” You will still get a dress that embodies these. However, it may be made from various choices of silk, and the shade of red, placement of gradient, style of sleeve, etc is all up for interpretation. If you give words that are too rigid, confusing or don’t work we will either notify you to replace them, get clarification or will cancel the order.

When your order is placed, our team will send a confirmation a few days later and an estimate of the date the gown will be completed. Please note: We only send a photo once the gown is fully complete upon shipping. If you seek changes to be made after completion, these must be done in alterations by your tailor.

Each dress is made by hand in NYC when it is ordered. Please allow up to 16 weeks for production. If you need the dress sooner, please consider one of our rush options.

All gowns are made to the sizes listed on our size chart below. To ensure proper fit, please consider getting measured by your local tailor.
