Frequently Asked Questions
What are alterations?
Alterations are precise refinements that ensure your garment fits you perfectly — from shortening or lengthening to subtle adjustments in shape and silhouette.
Do I need a fitting?
Yes. Fittings are an essential part of every couture experience. They ensure your garment reflects both your vision and our craftsmanship.
Why are fittings required?
Fittings are the foundation of couture. They allow us to tailor every detail of your garment to your body, creating a flawless fit.
How should I prepare for my fitting?
Please bring all items requested by your designer, such as undergarments, shapewear, or shoes you plan to wear with your garment. Be prepared to spend time with us — fittings are a meticulous process and may take longer than expected.
How many fittings will I need?
The number of fittings varies by design and level of detail. We will schedule as many as necessary to achieve perfection.
How much are custom garment services?
Pricing depends on fabric, materials, craftsmanship, sourcing, travel, and shipping. Each piece is unique, and costs reflect the artistry involved.
What is the deposit for custom garment services?
A deposit of 75% of the garment price is required to begin production.
What is a consultation?
A consultation is a one-on-one session where we explore your design vision, discuss the couture process, and review investment details.
Do I need a consultation?
Yes. Consultations allow us to ensure we are the right fit for one another. They help define your vision while giving you clarity on the couture journey ahead.
How should I prepare for a consultation?
We recommend gathering inspiration — 3 to 5 color choices, preferred fabrics, silhouettes, or reference images. Bring any questions you may have about the process.
Does a consultation guarantee a booking?
No. Only a signed contract and deposit secure your couture service. However, every consultation is the first step toward becoming a HyVoltage client.
What services are included once I book?
Once under contract, you will receive full couture services: fabric and material sourcing, swatches, sketches, styling, fittings, and the creation of your custom garment.
What services are offered without a booking?
Without a contract, we can answer general questions about our process but cannot provide sourcing, sketches, or design development.
Why is it important to meet financial obligations on time?
Timely payments ensure your garment is delivered as scheduled. Delays in payment will pause production and may affect your delivery date.
When can I expect to receive my garment?
Your custom piece will be completed by the agreed-upon date, provided all obligations are met on time.
