the custom look process with house of deane
INITIAL CALL.
House of Deane offers a complimentary 15-minute call to discuss your custom dress and answer any preliminary questions you have. Sending your mood board or a few reference photos in advance of this call is always preferred and helpful!
A PERSONALIZED SKETCH.
Next, Diana will assemble your ideas into a few hand-drawn sketches and we’ll go over options and pricing tiers.
FABRIC SOURCING.
In collaboration with Diana, you choose curated fabrics like Italian Mikado, and French embellished netting, silk crepe, and more. If you are out of state like most clients, you will be sent a swatch packet along with sketches that we will go over on a call when you receive them.
Custom surface design is an option and also has swatches provided after we have discussed your preferences in detail. Embroidery and beadwork will be swatched in advance as well.
COUTURIER CRAFTING.
Diana gets to work patterning, draping, and crafting your look to perfection.
Fittings.
We will coordinate a series of fittings where we’ll ensure that every little detail is to your liking. Most of our clients are located outside of Austin and there is an option for Diana to travel to you for fittings or the whole process can be done virtually without in-person fittings. There have been clients that don’t need any fittings and that will depend on the style and size fluctuation between purchase and wear date.
Delivery.
Custom work can take up to 8 months depending on the length of communication prior to beginning the construction process. Rush options are usually available, so reach out ASAP if you would like to discuss a custom dress or capsule for your wedding.
“Diana Deane is the designer of your dreams. Look no further if you want to do custom work for your wedding.
Diana created a fully custom wardrobe for my wedding weekend and EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE. blew me away. Not only did she manage to create the most magical dress capsule collection—yes, COLLECTION—every piece was custom, and this wonder woman did everything remotely in a six-week timeframe:
- A quilted coat that I will wear for the rest of my life
- A day-before-ceremony dress with Chantilly lace underlay and hand embroidering of my husband's and my favorite things
- The star of the show: an incredible custom wedding gown with the most precious floral cotton lace, delicate and impressive hand-beading, sleeves that made me feel like royalty, and pockets (because every bride needs pockets!) - all designed around my mom's headpiece from her wedding
- The sweetest veil ever with little hand-made flowers (and I thought I was someone who would never wear a veil)
- A whimsical black number with tiny bows
- A neoprene slip to wear under every outfit (I loved that touch)
- Bow tie for my husband from the same fabric as my coat
- Diana also made recommendations for my hairstyle, helped pick my lip color, and helped me find and create two custom pairs of clogs - she does it all without skipping a beat and, on top of it, is incredibly humble and kind-hearted.
Diana did this all entirely remotely and in a six-week timeframe! (Did I say that already?!)
I was nervous about asking anyone to do custom work for me in such a short span of time, but the minute I started working with Diana, all my worries were swept away. Her custom process is timely, creative, and fun, making you feel unique and comfortable at every step.
I could never dream up these incredible pieces on my own, and I appreciate Diana's creative direction, consistent communication, professionalism, and calmness throughout the process. From initial calls to picking out the fabric together to fittings, she put me at ease and made creating my wedding wardrobe both meaningful and memorable. Working with Diana was so fantastic that I was pretty sad when it was over, and I hired her again for ready-wear because I loved working with her so much!
You can tell that Diana takes so much care and pride in her work. When I received my magical collection, I was utterly blown away—the quality was so luxe and rich, the fabrics, embroidery, beading, and hand-sewn details were beautiful, and everything fit like a glove. I didn't need a single fitting adjustment! If you want to hire an incredibly talented angel of a designer, work with Diana Deane.
Diana is such a creative spirit with such calm energy, which is the ultimate combination for a wedding dress designer. I came to her with no real direction, and she painted a fairytale picture for me every step of the way. If you even have an inkling of a desire to do something custom, choose House of Deane for all your bridal needs. She is fantastic, and I will continue to work with her for years.”
