Frequently asked questions

The questions brides ask me most, answered plainly. If yours isn't here, message me.

Ordering & timing

How long does it take to make my dress?

Every piece is sewn to order, so the time depends on the piece, and I show it on each product page. Most dresses take me about 2 weeks; the feather cape takes about 3 days.

Delivery then takes about 7–14 days after your piece is ready.

Will my dress arrive in time for my wedding?

Add the sewing time shown on the piece to about 7–14 days for delivery, and you have a good estimate from the day you order. If your date is close, message me before you order and I'll tell you whether the timing works.

Who will sew my dress?

I will. I'm Marta, and I design and sew every Madmire piece by hand in my atelier in Kyiv, Ukraine. Every piece is sewn to order. More about me

Can I see my dress before it ships?

Yes. Message me while I'm sewing and I'll send you photos before it ships.

Sizing & measurements

Do I need to choose a size?

Only roughly. Every dress, the robe and the corset top are made to your measurements: on the product page you pick your closest size as a starting point, and after you order you fill in a short measurement form. I sew to your numbers, not the size.

For the ostrich-feather cape you only choose the length on the product page.

How do I take my measurements?

After you order a made-to-measure piece, you fill in a short measurement form. If you'd like to start now, read how to measure. Questions? Message me any time.

Do plus sizes cost more?

No. Plus sizes cost the same.

Shipping & duties

Do you ship to the US, and is shipping free?

Yes. Shipping is free worldwide, including the US. Delivery takes about 7–14 days after your piece is ready, and every order ships with a tracking number.

The details are in my shipping policy.

Will I pay import duties or taxes?

Not in the US: import duties are included in the price, so there's nothing to pay on delivery.

Outside the US, import duties and taxes are paid on delivery and depend on your country's rules.

The details are in my shipping policy.

Returns & cancellations

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, within 48 hours of ordering, for a full refund. Message me to cancel.

Can I return my wedding dress?

Every piece is sewn to order, so I can't accept returns for a change of mind or when the fit is off because of the measurements you sent. If your piece arrives damaged, isn't what you ordered or isn't sewn to your measurements, I'll repair, remake or fully refund it, and I cover the return shipping.

The full terms are in my refund policy.

What if my dress doesn't fit?

For made-to-measure pieces, you send me your measurements through a short form after you order. If the finished piece doesn't match the measurements you sent, you can return it within 7 days of delivery under my refund policy.

Customizing your dress

Can I change the design of a dress?

Yes, and changes are free. Tell me what you have in mind before you order (sleeves, neckline, color, length or train), and I'll tell you what's possible for that piece. Message me here.

Can I send you inspiration photos?

Yes. Send them to me on Instagram, WhatsApp or Telegram; all my links are on my contact page.
