HOW TO START A CUSTOM ORDER

Your budget

Any special requests, ideas, or inspiration

Approx. rhinestone level (light, medium, heavy glam)
Any closures (zippers, clasps, ties, etc.)

2. Design & Sketch Phase
I’ll create a custom sketch based on your vision. From there, we can make adjustments until you’re completely happy with the design.

You’ll also receive a price breakdown that includes:

Materials
Base piece construction
Additional detailing (like rhinestones, specialty work, etc.)

Please note: Sketches are the intellectual property of Queen Nova.

3. Pricing Overview
Each piece has a base price that reflects construction time. Final pricing varies depending on:

Materials used
Level of detail
Time required (especially for hand placed embellishments like rhinestones)

4. Deposit
Once we finalize your design and pricing, a deposit is required to begin.

Deposit is $150 OR cost of materials (whichever is higher)
This secures your order and allows me to purchase materials + start production

DESIGN OWNERSHIP POLICY

All costume concepts, sketches, and design visuals shared by Queen Nova, including those posted on social media, websites, or shown in messages/during consultations, are the intellectual property of the designer and remain available for general use unless otherwise stated in writing.

Public Design Availability

My design process operates similarly to a tattoo flash sheet system. This means:

All posted designs are considered open designs
They are available for any client to purchase or customize
Seeing, discussing, or inquiring about a design does not reserve or claim ownership of that design

Clients are welcome to request modifications such as fabric, color, sizing, embellishments, or styling adjustments. Any modifications made to a design at a client’s request will also remain available for purchase by other customers unless that design has been exclusively purchased with a deposit. The underlying concept and any adapted versions of that concept are not exclusive unless explicitly secured.

No Automatic Exclusivity

Viewing, discussing, or requesting changes to a design does not make it exclusive.

A design is only considered reserved or exclusive when:

A deposit has been received
A custom order agreement has been confirmed in writing

Until that point, designs may continue to be offered and sold to other clients.

Design Inspiration & Third-Party Use

Clients may not claim ownership, authorship, or exclusive origin of any design based on:

Viewing it online
Requesting colour, embellishment, fabric or customization changes
Using third-party tools, A.I. or software to visualize variations of the design

All creative direction, sketches, and final concepts remain the property of Queen Nova, regardless of client interaction or interpretation.

Deposits & Reservation Policy

A design is only removed from public availability and reserved for a single client once a non-refundable deposit has been received. At that point:

The design will be marked as “reserved” or “sold”
No additional clients will be able to commission the same design in its original form

Respect for Creative Work

I welcome collaboration and customization, and value your input deeply. However, all final design decisions, artistic direction, and intellectual property remain with the designer unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

Step 4: Consider Your Materials

Fabric costs are not included and will vary depending on what you choose:

Specialty fabrics (velvet, holographic, lace, etc.) = higher cost

Typical material ranges can vary widely depending on the design. Fabrics can be sourced from anywhere, and it may cost to ship/import special materials.
