	My design process begins with a relaxed and creative consultation, where ideas are shared and designs are sketched. You may choose to bring sources of inspiration like magazine clippings, art or wedding themes to assist with the design process. Once the gown is designed and measurements are taken, cost can be determined and a fit schedule can be made. Careful attention is given at every stage, from design, fabric selection, patternmaking, fitting to final gown construction. Depending on the complexity of the design, each gown will require up to 3 fittings and take 2 to 4 months to complete. Don't hesitate to contact me about projects that may need to be completed in a shorter amount of time. "Working with Pa was also a joy. She understands a woman’s body, how important this day was to me and how important it was for her to make my realization possible in my gown. At times I had too many ideas and at others not enough. She took her time and listened to my desires and designed a few sketches. She was honest with me when she knew a certain style would not work (e.g. because I’m a shorter woman a mermaid style gown would make me look shorter – it was not for me). She educated me about the importance of fabrics and designs that would accentuate my features – make me look taller, slimmer and beautiful. She was flexible with my schedule and professional. The best things is that she loves what she does, does not settle for anything less than high quality, is well educated in the field, fun to work with, honest and listens… making my whole experience a very positive one and my wedding day memorable." ~Amy* PFT Couture was everything that I was looking for in having my wedding gown custom-made! From the design ideas to the consultations, to the unexpected change in gown designs, to the work on the bridesmaids' gowns, everything was exceptional. PFT Couture made sure that my gown design was not only flattering for my figure, but was also unique to my personality and my desires. She has an eye to detail and truly customizing to the individual. I highly recommend PFT Couture! ~May
