Questions
Do you create bespoke / One-Off pieces?
No. I diversified my business in 2021 and I now only produce my collection pieces which can be seen on my website or my social media. Many of my pieces you will see on my shop and in my collection have an option to "customise" the design with a Variation of Neckline, Sleeves or skirt types.
Can I order from a previous collection or something I have seen on your social media?
Yes, you can! However, depending on how old the design is, the fabric or colour may no longer be available. You are welcome to phone, text or email for more information.
Do you have a shop?
No. My designs can be bought here from my online boutique orders can also be placed over the phone or by email during normal office hours. The products bought in this way all have a 14 day returns policy.
How do I know if the product will suit me or fit me?
I am very happy to answer any queries or give advice about the fit of any of my designs over the phone, text or email before ordering. When shopping online, it’s good to know your measurements as sizes can vary depending on the brand or design. I recommend you take a measuring tape and take note of your bust, waist, and Hips (See Sizing Guide). You can also have your local tailor do it for you if you want.
What if you don’t have my size available online?
If your size is not available the garment can be made to order, this takes 2-4 weeks. You can refer to the Sizing Guide, but If you require assistance to know which size to order or if you fall in between size please phone or email and I will happily help. I am aware that many women can crossover two sizes and may get a better fit by providing their own measurements. Feel free to contact me to discuss this option.
What If I want the design in a different colour?
Many of the designs can be Made to order in other colours, please email or phone to discuss what other shades are available.
Can I get a sample of the Fabric / Colour?
Yes. Please phone or email for swatches or information of other shades available
What does “Made or Order” Mean?
Made-to-order means that "Collection" design is made only when they are ordered. Made to order pieces take 2-4 weeks to be completed. In this instance I will discuss with the client over the phone any variations in design, sizing or colour before producing the garment. While this offers my clients more choice it is also a sustainable approach to avoid unnecessary excess stocks.
Can I order one of your designs now but not have fittings until sometime in the future closer to my event?
Yes you can but maximum six months. In this case 50% of the cost must be paid in advance as a deposit and in order to secure the fabric style and choice.
Can I book an In Person Consultation with Tina?
Yes, this will cost €50 for a 45 min consultation which is deducted from your design if you proceed with an order. However, this service is limited and may not available in peak times June, July, August or December, please feel free to enquire.
Also Please note consultations are for "Tina Griffin Design" collection only as I do not provide a "bespoke/ one-off" Service.
Can I get a fitting for my Design with you?
Yes I provide a “fitting Option” for my designs only. This is an additional €50 -100 cost (depending on number of fittings) onto the online price, which covers the appointment and Garment adjustments. In this case the design you have ordered will be made to the size you order or to the measurements you provide but instead of the garment being shipped to you I will arrange an appointment for you to visit my studio in Killorglin, Co. Kerry to have a fitting with me of the finished garment. Any adjustments you require at this fitting will be done by me within 4-6 days and the garment is then either shipped or collected. Once adjustments are made specific to your fit, there will be no returns policy. This service may not available in peak times June, July, August or December, please feel free to enquire.
Do you provide Alterations to other clothes or wedding dresses?
