Ordering & timing

How long will my order take?

As every dress is made to order, preparation usually takes 7–14 days. We'll confirm the exact timing with you when you order, depending on our workload and the design. If it needs to be ready for a specific date (a wedding or henna night), please be sure to mention the date when ordering.

How do I place an order?

All designs on the site are sold online: select your child's age group on the product page, enter the height, chest and waist measurements, add it to your basket, then tap "Proceed to Payment" and pay by card on the payment page. For a design not on the site or a custom design, message us on WhatsApp; we'll send you a personalised quote and confirm the measurements together. A step-by-step guide is on our How to Order page.

What is the difference between the designs on the site and a custom design?

You can order in two ways. All designs on the site are sold online and have fixed prices: children's dresses 3,500 TL (White Off-Shoulder Satin Organza Dress 2,000 TL), adult evening gown 6,000 TL, children's nurse dress 1,500 TL, adult nurse dress 4,500 TL, denim set 9,000 TL (VAT included), the same for all sizes; shipping is 250 TL per order. You order these designs on the site by entering the age group and measurements on the product page and adding the item to your basket; the payment method is explained under the question How do I pay?. A design not on the site, or a design made especially for you, is ordered via WhatsApp: its price is set according to the design, fabric and measurements and sent to you as a personalised quote.

How many items can I include in one order?

There is no limit on the total number of items (dresses or sets) in an online order; only the quantity you can add of each size of each design is limited, and you will see this when adding it to your basket. Shipping is 250 TL per order, regardless of the number of items. For a large number of dresses in the same design, write to us via our Group Orders page or on WhatsApp.

What age range are the children's party dresses for?

Our children's designs are made for girls aged 3–12; for women and teenage girls we also have an evening gown design in sizes 34–46 (Evening Gowns for Women and Teen Girls). Because every dress is tailored to individual measurements, there's no such thing as an "in-between size".

Measurements & sizing

How do I provide measurements?

For an online order, you select the age group on the product page and enter your child's height, chest and waist measurements. After you order, Çiğdem Bilge will call you on WhatsApp and we'll confirm the measurements together. For orders placed via WhatsApp, we finalise the measurements together in our messages. For approximate values, see our size guide.

How do I take measurements at home?

Height: without shoes, standing straight against a wall, from the top of the head to the floor. Chest: wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of the chest, without pulling it tight. Waist: around the narrowest part of the waist, while breathing normally. Send us the measurements on WhatsApp; if you're unsure about anything, we'll guide you.

What if my child falls between two ages?

No problem: age is only a starting point; the dress is sewn to actual measurements. If you'd like to allow for growth, we can plan for that together too.

Do you also make dresses for children under 3?

Yes. Most of our designs are made for ages 3–12, but we also sew for ages 2–3, to the child's own measurements. Just send us your child's age and measurements on WhatsApp.

Payment, exchanges & returns

How do I pay?

For designs sold online, you pay by credit or debit card on the payment page when you order; your card details are processed by the payment provider iyzico and are not shared with us. For custom orders placed via WhatsApp, we share the payment details when we confirm the order.

Do you offer exchanges or returns?

As the dresses are made to measure, to the measurements you give us, they are not covered by the 14-day right of withdrawal; returns are not accepted because you don't like the dress or have changed your mind. If there is a sewing fault, damage in transit, or the wrong item or size is sent, your legal rights remain unaffected: you can ask for a free repair, a replacement, a price reduction or a refund. Full details are on our Returns and Exchanges page.

How do I submit a return request?

Fill in the Return Request form; you'll be given a request number. Send us photos of the item and the fault on WhatsApp, quoting this number; we'll review your request and get in touch with you.

Where can I see the prices?

All designs on the site are sold online; the price is shown on the product card and product page: children's dresses 3,500 TL (White Off-Shoulder Satin Organza Dress 2,000 TL), adult evening gown 6,000 TL, children's nurse dress 1,500 TL, adult nurse dress 4,500 TL, denim set 9,000 TL (VAT included), with shipping at 250 TL per order. You can see all the designs in our shop. For a design not on the site, you can contact us via WhatsApp. For custom design and tailoring, the price is determined separately by the fabric, guipure, lace, stones, trims, workmanship and design details involved.

Designs & custom design

Which special occasions do you make party dresses for?

We make party dresses for girls aged 3–12 for every special occasion, above all weddings, henna nights, engagements and civil weddings, graduations, birthdays and Eid. We can also make the same design for several children, such as siblings, cousins or school groups.

Which fabrics do you work with?

We work with glitter tulle, satin, organza, chiffon, taffeta, lace and velvet. Details such as 3D flowers, pearls, stones, sequins, bows and ruffles are applied by hand; we choose the fabric and details together, to suit the design and the occasion.

Should I buy a ready-made party dress or have one made to measure?

A ready-made party dress can be bought straight away, but it is produced to a standard size pattern. With made-to-measure tailoring, the dress is made to your child's own measurements, and you can also choose the colour, fabric and details. For this, you usually need to allow a preparation time of 7–14 days.

Do you have designs suitable for weddings and henna nights?

Yes; we have designs in a range of colours and cuts for every special occasion, including weddings, henna nights, engagements, graduations, Eid and birthdays. You can narrow them down using the colour filters in the shop.

Can you make a design I've chosen myself?

Yes. Send us a photo or description of the design you love on WhatsApp; we'll decide the fabric, colour and details together and make it especially for your child. Full details are on the Custom Design page.

Do you also make graduation gowns and school show costumes?

Yes. From kindergarten to high school, we make graduation gown and cap sets, and costumes and dresses for school shows such as 23 April, 29 October, 10 November and the reading celebration, all to the child's own measurements. We also take orders for whole classes and schools. You'll find the options and the quote form on our Custom Tailoring & Graduation page.

Can I have a party dress made with long sleeves or a more modest cut?

Yes. Just tell us you'd like the design you love with long sleeves or a closed neckline; before you order, we talk through together how the sleeves and neckline will look on that design. We explain the options on our long-sleeved and modest designs page.

Do you make a bindallı for the henna night?

Yes. For the henna night we also make the bindallı, the traditional embroidered henna-night dress, for girls, sewn to the child's own measurements; we decide on the fabric, colour and embroidery details together. Full details are on our girls' bindallı page.

How should the dress be washed and stored?

We recommend dry cleaning for tulle, satin and embellished fabrics. Store the dress on a hanger, inside a breathable garment bag and out of direct sunlight; don't fold full skirts.
