✨ BEFORE YOU APPLY


Custom Prom Dresses with The Lydia Simone Company
Creating a custom prom dress is an exciting experience — and it’s also a collaborative, intentional process. Before submitting a Custom Prom Client Application, please review the information below to ensure we’re a good fit.


💎 What “Custom” Means Here

Every Lydia Simone prom dress is:

  • Designed from scratch
  • Made specifically for your body, vision, and event
  • Crafted with luxury techniques and attention to detail

This is not fast fashion or made-to-measure.

This is true custom design.

🎓 Who This Is For

Custom prom clients who work best with us:

  • Are excited to collaborate and trust the designer
  • Understand that quality craftsmanship requires time
  • Are prepared to invest in a one-of-a-kind look
  • Are ready to move forward if approved

If you’re looking for a last-minute or low-budget option, custom may not be the right fit — and that’s okay 🤍

💰 Investment Expectations

Custom prom dresses typically start at $1,000 and increase based on:

  • Design complexity
  • Fabric selection
  • Embellishments (corsets, beading, appliqué, etc.)
  • Timeline and production needs

Payment plans may be available for approved clients.

👉 Submitting an application does not guarantee approval.

⏳ Timeline Requirements

Standard production timelines:

  • Custom prom dresses: 8–10 weeks

Rush orders may be available for an additional fee, depending on availability.

If your prom date is less than 8 weeks away, approval is not guaranteed.

📍 Fittings & Location

We are based in Philadelphia, PA.

Some designs — especially corsets or heavily embellished gowns — require multiple in-person fittings.

Travel for fittings or shipping options may be discussed after approval.
