I Found a Dress I Love. What's Next?

Simply click the "Interested in This Dress?" button on the gown's page or contact us directly. Our team will help answer your questions, locate a retailer, and arrange for a sample gown to be available for your appointment whenever possible.

If there isn't a Barbara Kavchok retailer near you, we'll do our best to coordinate with a bridal boutique closer to home so you can experience the gown in person.

Can I Customize a Barbara Kavchok Gown?

Absolutely. Customization is at the heart of the Barbara Kavchok experience. Every gown is handcrafted and made-to-order, allowing for extensive modifications to suit your vision.

Whether you'd like to change a neckline, add sleeves, incorporate detachable elements, alter fabrics, adjust embellishments, or combine details from multiple styles, we'll work with you to create a gown that feels uniquely yours.

For brides seeking something entirely original, we also offer fully custom wedding dress design services.

​

Do You Offer Custom Wedding Dresses?

Yes. Brides have the opportunity to work directly with designer Barbara Kavchok to create a completely custom wedding gown.

Whether you have inspiration photos, specific design ideas, or simply a vision you haven't been able to find elsewhere, Barbara will guide you through the design process—from sketches and fabrics to silhouette and finishing details—creating a gown that is uniquely yours.

How Much Do Barbara Kavchok Wedding Dresses Cost?

Every gown is handcrafted and made-to-order in our Pennsylvania bridal atelier. Pricing varies depending on the design and level of customization, with most wedding dresses beginning around $2,500.

​

Can I Purchase a Gown Directly Online?

Wedding dresses are typically purchased through our retail partners or through an appointment at the Barbara Kavchok Atelier.

Because fit, measurements, styling, and alterations play such an important role in the bridal experience, we believe every bride benefits from working with experienced bridal professionals who can help ensure the perfect fit and overall experience.

​

What Sizes Do You Offer?

We design for every body. Barbara Kavchok gowns are available in an extensive size range, and many designs can also be made to your individual measurements for a more personalized fit.

A beautifully fitting gown is one of the most important parts of feeling confident on your wedding day.

​

How Long Does It Take to Make My Dress?

Every Barbara Kavchok gown is handcrafted and made-to-order using couture techniques and carefully sourced materials. Because each dress is individually created, production takes time.

We recommend ordering your wedding dress at least 6–8 months before your wedding date to allow time for production and alterations. Rush options may be available depending on our production schedule.

​

Why Should I Shop for My Wedding Dress Early?

Shopping early allows plenty of time for your gown to be crafted, delivered, and altered before your wedding day. It also helps reduce stress throughout the planning process and allows you to secure current pricing before future material and production cost increases.

Our recommendation is to begin shopping for your wedding dress at least 8–12 months before your wedding whenever possible.

​

What Should I Bring to My Appointment at the Barbara Kavchok Atelier?

Bring inspiration photos, ideas, and an open mind. During your appointment, you'll work directly with designer Barbara Kavchok to explore styles, discuss customizations, and refine your vision.

One of the advantages of working directly with the designer is the ability to sketch and visualize ideas in real time when needed.

​

What Should I Bring to My First Fitting?

Please bring the exact shoes and undergarments you plan to wear on your wedding day. These items help ensure accurate alterations and allow us to achieve the best possible fit for your gown.
