Although Belle of the Ball would always do their best to help a last minute order, we do work on a first-come-first-served basis, and this only allows for a certain amount of dresses per season. It depends on the complexity of the design and on how quickly the client can come for a fitting. We work on time and fitting schedules and we don't work on only one dress at a given time, so your waiting period will also depend on the work we have on hand. Amount of fittings depend on the difficulty of the design. Changes in design after fittings have started, might result in more fittings and might result to extra costs. Fitting schedules will specify exactly what needs to be fitted, and what the progress of the dress is. Fabric and labour costs are all determined individually, in order for you to see exactly what you are paying for. Labour costs are determined beforehand on the amount of time we will spend on a dress. We are open during office hours as well as most Saturdays for your convenience. Yes definitely.We travel between material shops and the studio and are booked well in advance for fittings and consultations, which may last up to 60 minutes, so you might have to wait if no appointment was made. Yes, but Belle of the Ball will arrange a suitable time for you to meet at a material store in Pretoria, where you will be assisted in choosing the perfect fabric for your design. Most brides choose to leave their dress at our studio up until a few weeks before the wedding. Belle of the Ball has a set deadline for one week before any wedding or event, although if you booked in advance and your dress is finished earlier, you are welcome to collect it.
