Terms
Blessing's commissions typically fall between $700 and $4,200 (quoted and paid in sterling, £520 – £3,200), with a lead time of around 8 weeks. A deposit secures the slot and fabric; the balance is released in stages you approve as the garment takes shape. Every piece is quoted on its own brief — there is no tariff.
Verified, and what that means
Everrissa checked Blessing's identity, workroom and past work before this atelier was listed, and every commission is run through Everrissa's milestone payments.
Reviews are earned, not imported.
