Frequently asked questions

Can I order a gown exactly like one in the lookbook?

Every Naima gown is made once, for one client. We use the lookbook as a starting point and design a piece that is entirely your own.

Are these photos of real commissions?

Yes. The lookbook shows gowns made in the Naima Couture atelier for clients and on our dress forms.

How long does embroidery like this take?

Heavily embroidered bridal pieces take six to nine months from first consultation; lighter evening gowns usually take eight to twelve weeks.
