Pricing & Policies

Custom Pricing

Unfortunately, there is no set price for custom sewing work.  Every garment that I create is unique, like you!  Each facet of a custom garment (or item) is tailored to your fit and style and it does take time to make sure that every detail is perfect.

​Below are some pricing guides for figure skating and dance costumes, as those are my specialty.  If you are interested in working with me on another item, please reach out and we can discuss your needs so that I can provide you with a quote.​

  • Basic Custom Dress, no embellishment: $300+
  • Custom Dress with applique, cutwork, or up to 500 rhinestones: $500+
  • Custom Dress with 500+ rhinestones or a combination of applique, cutwork & rhinestones: $650+

​As stated above, these prices are starting points, once we have discussed your design, I will be able to better estimate the cost of your project.

​I am sensitive to the fact that custom work is expensive; you get what you pay for, and this is something that will fit you exactly that no one else will have. Custom clothing of any kind is an investment. Having said that, please let me know if you are interested in a payment plan, I can set these up on a case-by-case basis.

Shop Policies

All sales are final; due to the custom nature of the items I create, I cannot accept returns. Please reach out to me within 30 days of delivery if you are experiencing any issues with your item.

​What you can expect: During your consultation, we will go through what I call the “discovery process”. This process helps me to learn about you, and your needs and wishes. Please come with any inspirational photos or drawings, music selections, the date that you need the item by, etc., to help me develop your design and provide you with a quote.  

​Once the quote has been accepted, a 50% deposit is due. After the deposit has been received, work can begin! I will collect your measurements if needed and I will order the fabric and other supplies following the finalization and approval of the design. When the basic garment has been sewn, I will contact you for a fitting before any embellishments are applied to the garment (making final alterations is much easier when I don’t have to work around rhinestones). 

​​The delivery date will be discussed during “discovery”. On average, I suggest that you allow at least 6-8 weeks from start to finish, but because all items are custom and unique, timeframes do vary. They can fluctuate based on my bandwidth, the design details, the need for fabric swatches, fabric and supply delivery times and fitting schedules. These times may also vary if we have agreed upon a payment plan. Rest assured that I will be in contact with you throughout the creation process and will keep you abreast of any timeline changes should they arise.

​Final payment is due upon delivery of your item; this also includes payment plans.

A service agreement outlining the details listed above will be provided once the details are finalized and at the time of deposit collection. The service agreement will be agreed upon and signed by both parties (You, as the client and by Sabrina Winckler Designs, LLC).

For Skating/Dance Costumes:

I will provide you with a sketch of the design for you and your coach’s approval. This sketch is my blueprint for your garment, and I will not start any work until the sketch has been approved by all necessary parties.

I have basic lycra fabric color swatches on hand, but ordering swatches may be necessary for specialty colors or fabrics and may extend the delivery timeframe.

​The standard timeframe for a custom figure skating or dance costume is about 8-12 weeks. This timeframe can fluctuate depending on my bandwidth, the design details, the need for fabric swatches, fabric and supply delivery times and fitting schedules. These times may also vary if we have agreed upon a payment plan.
