Custom couture is a detailed process and the number of fittings varies by design. Custom bridal generally involves six or more fittings from the initial toile through to final collection.

What should I bring to my consultation?

Please bring any references that help communicate the direction you are drawn to, including silhouettes, fabrics, embellishment or details. You do not need to arrive with a finished design in mind.

Who should I bring to my appointment?

We recommend keeping your appointment to a small group of trusted guests so the consultation can remain focused and considered.

Do you offer gown hire?

No. George Habibeh does not offer gown hire.

Can you provide the price of a previous client’s gown?

We do not disclose previous clients’ pricing. Each couture piece is individually designed and priced according to its fabric, construction, embellishment and workmanship.

How are custom orders paid?

Custom couture is paid in four 25% instalments across the production process.

Can I purchase a gown without having one custom made?

Selected pieces may be available to purchase from the atelier, subject to size and availability. These pieces must be viewed in person.
