Our couture gowns are thoughtfully crafted using premium fabrics selected for their movement, softness, and visual impact in photography. Because each gown is handmade, slight variations in placement, texture, or pattern may occur and are considered part of the gown’s unique character. Please review all listed measurements, fit notes, and fabric descriptions to ensure the best selection for your session or event. If you have questions about styling, fit, or colors, we are always happy to assist.

All custom gown orders are handmade specifically for you based on the measurements, design selections, and details provided at the time of purchase. Once production begins, no changes, adjustments, or cancellations may be made. All custom orders are final sale and non-refundable.

Please ensure that all measurements submitted are accurate. Bentley + Lace is not responsible for fit issues resulting from incorrect or incomplete measurements. We strongly encourage using a tailor to ensure accuracy.

Fabric colors, tones, and textures may vary slightly due to dye batches, lighting, and screen settings. Small variations in placement or finish are natural to the couture-making process and are not considered defects.

Turnaround times are estimated and may vary depending on fabric availability, season, and production queue. We will always do our best to meet your preferred wear date, but exact delivery dates cannot be guaranteed.

By placing a custom order, you agree to these terms and acknowledge that your gown is being created just for you.
