Having the perfect thing to wear already hanging in your closet when the invitation arrives makes life so much easier. No more searching frantically online endlessly or running to the nearest department store only to find a very limited selection with nothing that feels like "you". We created this collection to allow you to customize the pieces to suit the level of formality of the occasion as well as to suit your mood. Begin with the base piece- a sleeveless or short sleeved sheeth or a Huntington. Add a sash, or perhaps a cape. Or add an opera coat for an extra dash of chic. Does the invite call for something more formal? Add the matching overskirt and you will dazzle them. Or select a ball skirt and one of three different top options. Prefer a gown? How about the festive Emmeline with yards of gorgeous silk swirling around you as you spin around the dance floor? Rounding out the collection are two gorgeous dinner dresses: the Charleston and the Bell sleeved sheath. You cannot go wrong with any of these timeless pieces AND you get to choose your favorite color!

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 and trying on the garments. You do not need an appointment to just browse or if you’re helping yourself to try on anything available on the rack.
-
To make an appointment, please email us at info@shopsusanalbright.com with your availability, the date of the event, your size, and any specific styles you are interested in. Someone from our team will reach out to schedule ASAP!
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 send us a DM @shopsusanalbright or chat us on our website and we will happily assist you!
- We do not offer alteration services. If you think you need to have your dress taken in, let out or shortened, we recommend that you take it to your local tailor.
How far in advance of my event should I place my order?
-
We provide select sizes and styles in limited quantities that are ready to ship, however the majority of our clothing is made-to-order. For event wear, we recommend placing your order 2 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 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.
Can I pair a different color or print with another style or fabric in your collection?
-
Susan carefully designs each piece with attention to material, color, and style to create a garment that serves both form and function. A number of choices have been made so that the print, color, and material work in harmony together, such that modifying any of these is not possible.

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 and trying on the garments.

-
To make an appointment, please email us at info@shopsusanalbright.com with your availability, the date of the event, your size, and any specific styles you are interested in. Someone from our team will reach out to schedule ASAP!
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 send us a DM @shopsusanalbright or chat us on our website and we will happily assist you!

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

Can you custom make me a dress?
-

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.

-
Susan carefully designs each piece with attention to material, color, and style to create a garment that serves both form and function. A number of choices have been made so that the print, color, and material work in harmony together, such that modifying any of these is not possible.

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.
Can I pair a different color or print with another style or fabric in your collection?
-
Susan carefully designs each piece with attention to material, color, and style to create a garment that serves both form and function. A number of choices have been made so that the print, color, and material work in harmony together, such that modifying any of these is not possible.

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.
