Yes. A 20% non-refundable deposit payment is required in order to secure the dress for a 6 week period. You can pay off the dress anytime within 6 weeks of paying the initial amount. If you exceed the time limit for the layby, you will lose the deposit amount and the hold on the dress.

Do Mavidy Studios offer alteration services? What about tailor-made dresses?
We only offer alteration services for dresses purchased in our shop. However, we limit alterations to minor adjustments only.

What can be done if I really like a dress in the store but it is too big or too small for me?
If your favourite in-store dress is not close in size to your figure, we can tailor-make another dress at your request to match your size after taking your measurements. Some conditions apply, including payment of a 20% non-refundable deposit and an additional measuring, making and delivering charge totaling $99 in order to begin the dress making process. Please Note - It is important that you either bring the shoes that you will wear with the dress at your event or high heels of a similar height so that we can accurately measure the hem.

If I send you photos of a dress I like, can you make it?
In most cases, our answer is yes. Factors that contribute to our decision are the quality and angles of your photos as well as the availability of selected fabrics, colours, beads and other ornamental decorations. Dresses that are quoted to be made from either a client's photos or drawings will again require a non-refundable deposit of 20% as well as the standard $99 measuring, making and delivering fee mentioned above. Please Note - It is important that you either bring the shoes that you will wear with the dress at your event or high heels of a similar height so that we can accurately measure the hem.
