Did you ever want so badly to buy a Custom Made outfit & was not sure who to buy from, if it would stay together well, if the seamstress is really as good as the outfit in the photo looks? How to buy a Custom make outfit or item?  Did you ever want to buy some made to match Gymboree hair bows or Flip Flops or buy some pretty custom made jewelry & didn't know how to buy it? What to look for?

 Here are some things to look for when purchasing a Boutique Custom Made outfit.

1. Professional Tags are always good, many times a designer is good without the tag however for resale value an to be certain it is a good reputable product-a professional tag is a good idea to make certain the outfit or dress or item has before you bid or buy. It just shows the professionalism an looks nice & makes you feel that it is something special. After all most custom made outfits are not cheap. Therefore you should have some sort of tag.

2. The feedback reputation is always good to look at, however there are many designers that don't always sell on eBay all the time as they sell at stores or sew at home. So sometimes the feedback number is not always a sign of how good or bad a boutique custom product is or is not. Many times a low score is not a bad sign just as a high score is not however seeing positive feedback is always a good sign by any means.

3.Respected Designer group, there are tons of Designer groups out here. Many are some great talented groups, some been around for years & some brand new- to name a few that make custom made outfits & Boutique outfits, jewelry, Keepsake Pillows,Furniture, Art, Jewelry, hair bows & More:.

Some Designer groups are  Boutique Betties, they are one of the oldest an well respected talented groups on eBay. Sobella, they are a newer group all very talented too! Boutique Jaynes, they are a very talented group of Designers that have been selling on eBay for a long time too! The Bow Chicks, Bow Fairies, Bow Sisters & Bow Mamas are groups of Designers that offer Hair Flair & Hair Bows!! Here are some more groups 7th Ave Boutique, Center Stadge,  Designed To Match, Gypsies, Ivylane, Studio E, Stylehouse, Yayas, and there are many many more! This is just some to name a few that are out there & have talented designers.

What do Custom Designers Offer? Well many offer Painted Furniture for childrens rooms, many make Tooth Fairy Pillows, Bedding, Room Decor. There are some that make bottlecap necklaces & flip flops & bows. Many create handsewn ensembles an outfits, shirts, skirts, tops, embellished jeans, pants, jackets etc..

Some handpaint their own Art! There are many Artists on eBay that make pretty Art Pictures to hand on the walls, letter art, even clothing with painted Art on jackets, pants, bib o'alls etc...

Many talented designers make jewelry, hair bows, an even little polymer clay things to put on hair flair or flip flops.

There are even some designers that make auction templates, logos, web pages, eBay store fronts & more! You can find some Designers that make their own natural skincare, beauty care, creams & lotions. Some even make custom cloth diapers for new babies!! Posh Diapercakes & bling bling binkies!

I hope this helps give you an idea of some custom designer groups an what they do if you are looking for something special.

4.There are many designer groups that have Me Pages an list their websites or other places they offer products. They also many times feature photos of sample designs & many times list a variety of styles they have done in the past sort of as a Portfollio. This is also a great indicator to what talent is there an who to buy from.

5. If the seller has in the listing that the custom item is serged professionally an have hang tags an tags-that is a good thing.

6. The precise measurements of your child upon purchase to make the outfit or product, you want the outfit to fit? If they don't have in the listing it is customs then at least look for measurments on a handmade Boutique set to make sure of the fit.

7.Time line-how long to make the custom outfit? Most talented Designers will say about 1-2 weeks if it says like a month or longer that is just way too long an you should be concerned.

8.Shipping-shipping is important too-when you pay  high prices for a Custom Boutique Outfit or product you do expect timely shipping an product(s) in good packaging always ask how they ship to make sure you necklace or hair bow or outfit is packaged carefullly.

9. If you are buying boutique bows make sure you have a Designer that "heat seals" the ribbon to prevent freys from your pretty bows. After all custom or made to match hair bows are not cheap.

10. If you are buying Boutique Custom Made Jewelry made sure you know what size wire, that it is good quality used along with a sturdy clasp. You don't want something that will fall apart of have wire that will wear over time an break. You also want a good durable clasp to hold.

11.With purchasing Custom made Boutique clothing there is nothing wrong with asking the designer to send you a photo of their serged seams, or picture of the button holes or hot fix rhinestones they embellish.

12. When buying a custom pair of Designer flip flops -it is always to ask if the ribbon on the flip flops are heat sealed. You don't want your ribbon freying on your flip flops. Also if you have charms and jewels on your flip flops don't be shy ask about the clasp or how they secure the charms to make certain you don't pay allot for something that could fall apart.

I hope this helps.
