UniKaren Designs - About Custom Orders
I do not prefer to do custom work simply because I would be devastated if I could not make an outfit exactly the way you want it. I am not a trained tailor or dressmaker. My expertise comes with 36 years of experience ... I started designing and sewing my own square dance outfits when I was a budding teenager.
However, if you feel I can make what you want, you've seen it on my website, or on ebay, then the best thing to do is email me.
Send me a picture or link of what you would like. Tell me your size (chest, waist, lengths), your color preferences, style preferences, fabric preferences.
I will tell you upfront if I can do your project. No lies. If I cannot do it, I will tell you. I will only take on projects that are suitable to my timeline, my budget, and my ease with the project. I do not do full length dresses, long sleeves, diapers, wedding gowns or corsets. I do make what you see on my website, simple as that.
But I charge a fee that makes it worth my while. It's worth asking. Nothing is written in stone.
Oh - and one other thing - those who tell me "I'll leave the creative designing up to you" - those are the ones which I enjoy the most. Knock on wood, I have never had a disappointed customer.
Payment, ebay buy-it-now options, shipping, ease of being able to contact you - all of this must be negotiated and agreed on. Paypal is my preferred payment option through an ebay buy-it-now. So if you're registered with Paypal and Ebay (both free), then things will go a lot smoother.
Frequently asked question: Why are there no prices on your website? Because this is not a catalog, it's simply a display of various designs I've done over the years. These dresses are no longer available for purchase, someone already owns each one of these. They were purchased either directly from me or through an online auction. Most people who are familiar with my workmanship know the value of these dresses, as seen through the auction bidding process. I base my custom order fee on the average that the dresses have sold for over the years using that process.
