What should a wig or accessory commission specify?

Who this guide helps

Customers ordering costume elements separately

The short answer

Define appearance, fit, attachment, care and delivery separately. A styled image does not establish suitability for every wearer or event.

Practical workflow

Provide authorized references, intended use and preferences. Ask whether the service includes base item, styling, fitting, attachment or travel packaging. Have competent providers assess technical or safety questions and follow manufacturer guidance. Keep health concerns for appropriate professionals. Clarify revisions before the maker starts.

What a useful handoff looks like

Request care guidance, component inventory and agreed fit review. Confirm later adjustment terms and limitations. Preserve the approved version and distinguish missing work from a preference change.

Mistakes to avoid

Do not demand unsafe fastening or make unsupported medical-safety claims. The service cannot promise universal comfort.
