Do I need to make an appointment to come into the store?

If you are interested in event wear for a specific occasion, we highly recommend making an appointment with us so we can assist you with finding the perfect outfit for the event, ensuring the proper fit and advising you on fabric selection.
To reserve your private atelier appointment, please click on the “Reserve Your Atelier Appointment” tab and select your preferred date and time.

I do not typically buy tailored clothing, what is the best way to determine my size?

Our garments tend to fit more like “tailored” clothing since most of our items are made from 100% cotton, taffeta, or silk which offer little stretch. As a result, our sizing may be less forgiving compared to clothing made with knit fabric or spandex. Please take your body measurements at the bust, waist, and hips and compare with our size chart to find your best size. We have a number of sample sizes available to try on should you visit our shop.

Is my bra size equivalent to my bust size on your size chart?

No, please do not use your bra size to determine your bust measurement. To measure your bust, run the measuring tape around your back, just under your shoulder blades, and up around the fullest part of your bust. The tape should just skim the bra in front.

Do you custom make the dress to my measurements?

We do not custom make the dress to your measurements, rather, we can use your measurements to help you select the best fit within our size range. If you need assistance choosing your perfect fit, please reserve a virtual atelier appointment and we will happily assist you!
We are pleased to offer alteration services at our atelier for our made-to-order gowns. We will advise you of the estimated cost for alterations when your order is placed in the atelier.

How far in advance of my event should I place my order?

For event wear, we recommend placing your order 3 months in advance to ensure your item is done in time. If timing is a concern, please reach out to our team who will be happy to help. Expedited orders may be possible for a fee.

Can you custom make me a dress?

While we strive to provide a diverse selection to cater to various preferences, we do not offer fully custom-made dresses. Our focus is on delivering high-quality dresses that showcase timeless elegance. All styles are created in-house from sketch to muslin mock-up to exclusive patterns which are graded for our full size range.
If you’re interested in commissioning a custom wedding or family toile, please reach out to susan@shopsusanalbright.com for consultation and pricing.

Do you sell your fabric?

We do not sell our fabric on its own. Our fabric (with digitally printed signature prints and colors) is just as integral to a Susan Albright creation as the pattern, and until the two are put together by our skilled seamstresses, it is not a finished product available for purchase.

I do not typically buy tailored clothing, what is the best way to determine my size?

Our garments tend to fit more like “tailored” clothing since most of our items are made from 100% cotton, taffeta, or silk which offer little stretch. As a result, our sizing may be less forgiving compared to clothing made with knit fabric or spandex. Please take your body measurements at the bust, waist, and hips and compare with our size chart to find your best size. We have a number of sample sizes available to try on should you visit our shop.

Is my bra size equivalent to my bust size on your size chart?

No, please do not use your bra size to determine your bust measurement. To measure your bust, run the measuring tape around your back, just under your shoulder blades, and up around the fullest part of your bust. The tape should just skim the bra in front.

Do you custom make the dress to my measurements?

We do not custom make the dress to your measurements, rather, we can use your measurements to help you select the best fit within our size range. If you need assistance choosing your perfect fit, please reserve a virtual atelier appointment and we will happily assist you!
We are pleased to offer alteration services at our atelier for our made-to-order gowns. We will advise you of the estimated cost for alterations when your order is placed in the atelier.

How far in advance of my event should I place my order?

For event wear, we recommend placing your order 3 months in advance to ensure your item is done in time. If timing is a concern, please reach out to our team who will be happy to help. Expedited orders may be possible for a fee.

Can you custom make me a dress?

While we strive to provide a diverse selection to cater to various preferences, we do not offer fully custom-made dresses. Our focus is on delivering high-quality dresses that showcase timeless elegance. All styles are created in-house from sketch to muslin mock-up to exclusive patterns which are graded for our full size range.
If you’re interested in commissioning a custom wedding or family toile, please reach out to susan@shopsusanalbright.com for consultation and pricing.

Do you sell your fabric?

We do not sell our fabric on its own. Our fabric (with digitally printed signature prints and colors) is just as integral to a Susan Albright creation as the pattern, and until the two are put together by our skilled seamstresses, it is not a finished product available for purchase.
