Yes. Add made-to-measure as an option that adjusts the price, ask buyers to send measurements through messages, and state your production time.
How do I handle rush orders before events?
Offer faster shipping as one of your shipping rates and explain any rush production option in the listing, so buyers know what is possible.
Can I list one gown in several colors?
Yes. Use color swatch options on one listing, each able to change the price or be marked sold out.
