Frequently Asked Questions
Do all of your styles come in each of your fabric and colour options?
Yes, every one of our styles is able to be created in any of our fabric and colour options - as well as custom colours.
What are the fabric options?
Viscose: A beautiful soft and draped fabric, that breathes well, and feels light to the touch
Viscose Twill: A heavier fabric, with more structure and a high lustre sheen
Viscose Satin Crepe: A draped fabric, with a slight weave; it features a satin face and a crepe back, we primarily use the ‘glossy’ satin side.
How do I go about ordering a custom colour?
First step, provide us with your perfect colour/s - we will then have our skilled dyers aim to match that shade. This adds an additional 8 weeks to the creation process, as we will need to have the swatch approved before going ahead with your designs. Please note due to each piece being hand dyed, and in small batches, there may be a slight colour variation - we suggest all items are purchased together to ensure the same production batch, which will avoid any variation in colour.
We charge an additional $50 to your overall order to cover the custom work.
How do I order, and how long does it take?
There are two ways to order, either online here, or in store at either BLAK Newmarket or BLAKCHAOS Mount Maunganui. Once confirmed, and paid for in full, production will commence on your pieces: this can take between 8-14 weeks, or in our busier season (September to February) it could take up to 16 weeks.
When placing your order for your bridal party, we suggest that all items are purchased together; this ensures the full order comes from the same production batch, to avoid any variation in dress colour.
