Custom orders
Pre-order, made to order or custom: which to choose and when to order
The difference between pre-order, made-to-order and custom outfits at Zoha Kids Wear, what each involves, and how far ahead to order for Eid and weddings.
In stock
Ready to send. Add to bag, choose the size, and it’s posted to you. Best when Eid or the wedding is less than four weeks away.
Pre-order
The piece exists and is on its way, but not here yet. You reserve a size from the next delivery; we confirm the expected date and payment before anything is charged.
Made to order
The piece is made for your child after you order, in your chosen colour and size. Lehengas, sherwanis and prince coats work this way. Allow eight weeks or more.
Custom
Start from one of our styles or your own idea and change anything: colours, fabric, embroidery, a name. You get a quote first, and making only starts once you approve it.
When to order
| Option | What it means | Order by |
|---|---|---|
| In stock | Ready to send | 3–4 weeks before the event |
| Pre-order | Reserve from the next delivery | Expected date + 2 weeks |
| Made to order | Made in your size and colour | 8 weeks or more |
| Custom | Your idea, quoted first | 8–10 weeks or more |
Quick answers
What does pre-order mean?
You reserve a size from the next delivery of a piece that isn’t in stock yet. We confirm the expected date and payment terms before anything is charged.
How long does a made-to-order outfit take?
Allow eight weeks or more from your approval of the quote, so there’s time for making and a fitting check.
