✨Orderable Gowns: What You Need to Know✨
Because your gown should be as one-of-a-kind as your love story.
At High Vibe Bride, not every dress in our boutique is “off-the-rack”—we also carry a gorgeous selection of orderable gowns that can be made just for you in your preferred size, color, and customization options.
Whether you’re dreaming of blush, black, green, or a custom size that hugs your curves just right—we’ve got you.
💛 What Orderable Really Means
When a gown is marked “orderable,” that means:
-
We can order your dress in a range of sizes and colors
-
You’ll get a brand new gown made just for you
-
Custom sizing is available (and highly recommended!)
📦 Transparent Pricing, Always
Our orderable gown pricing now includes all shipping fees, tariffs, and semi-custom sizing fees—so the price you see is the price you pay. No surprise costs, ever
⏰ Gown Arrival Timing + Rush Orders
Orderable gowns are typically timed to arrive about 3–4 months before your wedding, giving you ample time for alterations to begin.
But here’s the magic:
✨ We can often adjust the timeline based on your needs.
Rush orders are available seasonally—depending on the designer’s current schedule—for an additional fee of $50–$150. Rush orders are not available over the Winter.
If you’re on a short timeline, we’ll explore the fastest, most magical way to get your gown to you.
📏 Semi-Custom Sizing = A Better Fit from the Start
Many of our designers allow us to order your gown made to your specific bust, waist, and hip measurements. This is a major help when it comes to alterations—because it’s much closer to your actual body than a standard size chart. This is great for people who are a split size- meaning their top half and hips are different sizes, so that your gown can arrive much closer to your proportions.
We say semi-custom because we are able to order the pattern adjusted to your bust, waist, and hip measurements. FULL custom involves entirely making a new pattern, doing a fitting in a mock-up or muslin of the pattern, many many more fittings, and what we offer is not that.
🔸 Even with our semi-custom sizing, alterations are still needed.
That’s totally normal!
Why? Because:
-
Measuring tapes don’t account for fabric stretch or fit preference
-
Your body might shift a bit between ordering and wedding day (hello, life!)
-
Most brides desire that perfect fit- and that means fine-tuning bust adjustments, adding bra cups, strap tweaks, and adding a bustle system to lift up your train for dancing the night away!
The good news? 💫
Every gown can be taken in or let out—so you’ve got wiggle room. Alterations are a normal part of the process for very bride, and to be expected.
👠 Want Custom Length? We've Got You
If you’d like your dress made to your height, we’ll measure from hollow to hem (that’s from the base of your neck to the floor). You can wear your wedding shoes for this—or something similar in height.
✨Not sure about your shoes yet? No worries—we can build in extra length just in case.
Hem adjustments are still needed, even with this extra step- it is just great to have the dress not arrive a foot too long as was in the sample if you are 5 ft. tall!
✨ Custom Design Changes: Your Dress, Your Way
At High Vibe Bride, we believe your gown should feel like you — not just in fit, but in every dreamy detail.
That’s why we offer custom design adjustments to help you create something truly magical.
💫 Common Customizations Include:
-
⬆️ Raising the Neckline
Perfect for brides seeking a modest, elegant look — whether in the front, back, or both!
-
⬇️ Lowering the Neckline
Add a little drama and spice to your style with a deeper neckline that still feels chic and intentional.
-
👗 Train Adjustments
-
Shorten it for ease
-
Remove it for a modern look
-
Lengthen it for that extra wow moment
-
-
🌈 Fabric or Color Swaps
Some of our designers allow you to switch to a different texture, fabric, or hue. Think shiny or matte, or champagne instead of ivory — yes please!
💖 Your custom gown doesn’t have to exist only in your imagination. Let’s chat through what’s possible and bring your one-of-a-kind vision to life!
👰 Real Bride Story: Modest, Magical & Made-For-Her
She came in glowing… but had one big concern.
“I love this gown,” she whispered, “but I need the neckline a bit higher for my Catholic Church ceremony.”
💡 The Request:
-
Raise the front neckline for modesty
-
Add a little more coverage to the back
-
Widen the delicate straps
She asked so sweetly, and the answer was YES. 🙌
Our designer team was able to make those custom changes — no stress, no compromise.
✨ The Moment Her Gown Arrived:
She stepped into her custom gown and looked in the mirror…
💫 Her eyes lit up... Her mom cried
She said, “This is exactly what I dreamed of — I feel like myself, but also like a bride.”
This is why we do what we do. 💖
You deserve a dress that fits your vision — and your values.
