Hand beading in the Ari Couture workroom
Custom

Made once,
for one person.

A commission starts as a conversation and ends as a gown that fits nobody else. Everything in between happens in the workroom on San Jose Street.

Fabric is sourced, patterns are cut for you and nothing is rushed. Bring us your date early — the calendar fills furthest ahead.

Every piece is different, so there's no price list. The figure above is where a commission begins; the consultation is where yours takes shape.

How a commission works

01

The consultation

An hour together in the studio. Bring photographs, colours, anything you've been saving — and the date you need it for.

02

Design and cloth

A sketch you sign off on, then the fabric: what it costs, how it moves, how it will sit in Bohol heat.

03

Measured and cut

Your measurements, your pattern. Nothing is cut from stock and nothing is shared with another piece.

04

Fittings

You come back as the piece takes shape. It's adjusted on you, not on a form, until the line is right.

05

Finished and yours

Pressed, boxed and collected. It stays yours — a commission is never returned to the rental floor.

You are not choosing a gown. You are watching one be made.

Book a consultation

Start with
an hour.

Six consultations a day — three in the morning, three in the afternoon, an hour each. Pick a day and a time that's still open.

Morning

Afternoon

One person per slot — greyed-out times are already taken by a consultation or a fitting. The studio can only do one at a time.
