The made to order process

  • Come in for your private appointment

    All of our appointments are completely private and give you an indulgent personal shopping experience. We help to create and style your entire look from tiara to hem, to make you feel your most confident and iconic self for any occasion.

  • Made-to-order and Bespoke Process

    This isn’t your typical shopping trip! All of our pieces are made entirely from scratch for you when you place an order! The benefit of this is that we have your garment made exactly to your measurements AND with any design changes you might want - so if for example you love a dress but want it made with sleeves, a different fabric, colour, neckline shaping etc - all fine!

  • Measurements & Toile Fittings

    Once you have chosen your outfit, we will place the order with the designer! At this point we have a couple of different options in order to get you the best fit. One way of doing that is to have your item made to your measurements. Another option is to have a ‘toile’ made, which is a basic, calico prototype of your garment so that we can tailor it to your exact shape and preference. This is the perfect opportunity to physically see any bespoke design changes you’ve made. The full couture experience!

  • Final Fittings & Alterations

    Once your outfit arrives, it might need some final tweaks – sometimes it’s as little as taking up a hem up to the perfect length for your shoes or adjusting straps (we are sticklers for the perfect fit!). We have our own seamstress in-house which means that we can help you through the process from beginning to end!

Our Designers

Endless Appointment Options at Rachel Scott Couture

Each of our clients is unique and will approach wedding dress shopping in a very different way - you may be super excited, you may be terrified, you may have done lots of research, you may have done none at all, you may know what we do at Rachel Scott Couture, you may not… Whatever your shopping style, whatever stage of the process you’re at and whatever level of excitement (or fear!) you’re feeling, we’ve got a flexible appointment format to suit.

  • Preliminary Consultation and Browsing

    Inspiration, ideas and a whole lot of tailored wedding chat!

    If you want to find out more about the designers, service and experience we offer but aren’t quite ready to try on yet, then our preliminary consultation option is ideal.

    Held in our main showroom, it’s the perfect opportunity for you to find out more about who we are, what we do and have a good browse through our styles.

  • Full Private Consultation

    Let’s get trying on and choose your dress!

    Brides-to-be are invited to view and try on our exclusive collections in the spacious, relaxed environment of our stylish consultation lounge, which will be entirely private and exclusively for you and your invited guests to use during your appointment.

    During your consultation, we’ll start with an initial chat to find out more about you, your wedding ideas and any specific styles or designers that’ve caught your eye, before moving through to the showroom to view the collections. As we look through the designs, we’ll work together to choose the best dress options to try on, using them as a base from which to style your individually tailored look.

  • Accessories Appointments

    Entirely dedicated to those finishing touches!

    Whether you have bought an outfit from us directly or you just can’t quite find the right piece to compliment something you already have; we’ve got you covered! Even if you don’t see it straight away in our showroom, we can make you something entirely bespoke to meet your needs.

    Pop in for an introductory appointment or book in for a full private consultation with one of our stylists, who can work with you to design something with you!

  • Virtual Appointments

    Can’t make the trip? We’ll come to you!

    This appointment can be tailored to your needs, maybe you just want to get an idea of what we do and how we work before you make a trip in person, or perhaps you’re further afield and would like to shop right now! Think of it as a personal
    shopping experience, where you can sit back and relax with our stylist’s undivided attention.

    Virtual appointments can be carried out by video or phone call, depending on your
    preference!

  • Appointment Times

    We understand the time pressures our clients are so often under - perhaps living or working quite some distance away from Edinburgh, leading busy full lives, working hard with potentially long, unpredictable and very much ‘non-standard’ working hours.

    So to make sure we continue our ethos of always, and very genuinely, centring our customer experience around your specific needs, we don’t limit ourselves to ‘standard’ hours either!
