Wish to have your custom colored, unique version of it? PRETTIE LANES got you covered - Imagine a pastel pink, powdery blue or soft yellow overlay and a variety of different florals...

 

The custom version of your dress will be manufactured in the exact same design pictured but with your individual choice of floral background and Silk Chiffon overlay color. You can as well choose the Chiffon overlay color and sash color to be different (i.e. Pink Chiffon overlay with Black  Chiffon sash).

Both will be sourced especially for you, creating a unique version of this model that will be manufactured only once and will remain a one-of-a-kind collector`s piece. 


Same overlay colors may be manufactured but never in combination with the same background florals, keeping each piece special.

 

Excluded from your individual choice is the Red Silk Chiffon overlay. The Red version is kept exclusive as a Ruby Collection original (sold out).

 

Turnaround time: To source your dream fabrics and colors for you, please note that the manufacture-to-ship-out time for the custom color version of this dress is 4-7 weeks depending on the chosen material.

 

Feel free to get in touch with your color preferences previous to ordering or order straight away to secure your place in the manufacturing line as custom commission spots are limited. There are plenty of color options available.
