Book a Consultation
Every couture piece begins with a conversation. Choose the session that fits where you are in the process.
Exploratory Couture Appointment
Curious about couture but not sure where to begin? This session is yours to explore. We'll walk through the FERN process — what's possible, how long it takes, what it costs, and what it feels like to commission something made entirely for you. No commitment, no deposit required. Come with questions, images, a vague feeling, or nothing at all.
Couture Consultation
Your couture commission begins here. This is a private conversation — we'll explore your vision, your body, the occasion, and the feeling you're after. Fern will walk you through past work, fabric swatches, and silhouette references to begin shaping something entirely your own. Come with inspiration or come with nothing at all. Either way, we start from you.
