Frequently asked questions

Eveningwear

What is the lead time for a couture eveningwear gown?

Whilst we usually request around four months to create a couture eveningwear design, the timeframe is specific to each client. Your Couture Consultant will discuss your requirements with you and offer guidance on a bespoke schedule.

Where are your dresses made?

All of our couture eveningwear designs are meticulously crafted in the Phillipa Lepley Atelier in London by a small, expert team of seamstresses, pattern cutters and embellishers.

What is the size range of your dresses?

Our dresses are tailored to individual body measurements and we can accommodate any size. Each design is precisely hand-crafted to fit you and only you; multiple fittings ensure a flawless fit.

Do you work with international clients?

Yes. We are honoured to work with clients both in the UK and around the world. Our expert team is well-versed in guiding you through each step of your couture journey, ensuring an exceptional experience. If you are interested in learning more about our international service, please contact us.

Do you offer a bespoke design service?
