About Bespoke Services

Kinquo offers an exclusive experience for clients seeking to create a custom bridal gown, cheong sam, ROM dress or occasion wear. 

During this bespoke journey, you will work closely with Jalene, founder and creative director of Kinquo to bring your piece to life. Each piece will be made in our Singapore-based atelier, crafted to the highest standard by skilled artisans. 

This intimate and intentional approach ensures that your special outfit is something you will treasure for a long time to come - designed specifically with you in mind, with utmost care and meticulous details. 

To begin your consultation, please email hello@kinquo.com to receive the pre-consultation form as we will need some details to move to the next step. 
How long does it take for my dress to be made?

For bridal gowns and complex cheongsams (with lace and applique details):

We recommend placing orders at least 9 months before the wedding date. Where we will aim to deliver around 1 month before.

For simple cheongsams:

We recommend placing orders at least 5 months prior to when you need it. For CNY collections, please place orders at least 7 months before.

My occasion date is less than 9 months away, can I still get a bespoke dress?

Yes, we have 2 rush services:

Super rush: 4 months or less (20% additional fee, subject to availability)

Rush: 4-8 months (10% additional fee)
What is the custom process like?

First, once we receive your email on hello@kinquo.com, you will need to fill in a pre-consultation form with some details about your occasion and outfit you have in mind.

Then, a consultation will be held in our atelier in Singapore to iron out details and take your measurements if everything is good to go. We will also collect a deposit on this consultation in order to proceed with purchasing materials and making of your toile (a mock up).

Following that, you will undergo two fittings, one with a toile to ensure that the design fits you perfectly, and another with the actual fabric of your outfit.

Lastly, we will have one final fitting for last touches before you can take home your very own Kinquo piece.

What is the price range like for custom?

Here are some guide prices for bespoke design services. Do note that these are workmanship prices only:

Tops and Shorts: from S$350 onwards
