Think it will be done in just time.



They offer two pricing structures, so clients can choose based on budget and how many custom changes they want—affecting both cost and schedule. I'm waiting for the dress.

Thanks for the help

Since everything is made to order, the budget and timeline must allow for full custom production rather than a proxy rush.

Thanks Darius Cordell

The website says rush orders are possible—e.g., production in as little as 2 months—but implies that more time allows better outcome. They are really helpful and committed. Amazing

Well planing

They recommend planning for approximately 6-9 months production time for a custom dress, depending on design complexity.

The dress Darius Cordell did turned out Amazing!

I combined two different styles together for a custom dress. Darius Cordell Couture was able to blend the two design together beautifully. Cot was a bit more than I wanted to spend and it took a bit longer to arrive than I had expected. But I am still very pleased with the outcome.

It needed no modifications

Back in January I ordered a custom pageant gown from Darius Cordell. My pageant was in July so I was cutting it a bit close. They still managed to pull it off. My dress came in a few weeks before the pageant. But it needed no modifications. Just a few tailoring things and it was perfect.

It was just slightly different.

My wedding budget was really tight. I wasn’t able to spend the $10K+ on the dress I really wanted. So I found Darius Cordell Couture and they said they could do the design for under $2000. I was doubtful at first. That didn’t seem possible. But the examples of the dresses they had done in the past convinced me to try.

Thanks Darius!

I started shopping for my wedding gown back during the Pandemic. I made sure to give Darius Cordell a full 12 months to create my dress. It came in about 8 months later. It turned out great.
