Why use a request form
One form turns preferences, measurements, timing, and spending boundaries into a consistent sourcing brief.
Separate categories, brands, colors, fit, and dislikes make preferences easy to scan.
Collect relevant sizes and fit notes while skipping measurements that do not apply.
Use a target amount for sourcing and a maximum that triggers client approval.
Adapt it to your service
Change fields and routing to match how your team sources and presents products.
Capture wardrobe goals, measurements, preferred silhouettes, gaps, and visual references for a focused edit.
Tie dress code, venue, climate, styling needs, and alterations time to a firm event deadline.
Build a useful recipient profile without asking the recipient, including interests, exclusions, personalization, and delivery timing.
Let remote customers request in-stock or sourced pieces, choose pickup or shipping, and select how they want to review options.
Build your intake
Generate the structure, adjust the questions, and route every response to the person who will source the items.
Explain what you source, which preferences matter, and how clients approve options.
Add size conventions, brands, service details, and conditional questions.
Share it before a consultation or embed it on your service page.
Send submissions to your workflow, tag deadlines, and clarify incomplete answers.
Request form vs messages
Structured questions keep budgets, sizes, and deal-breakers together.
Field guide
Use these six sections to turn a broad request into a brief that respects the client's taste, budget, and schedule.
Client and request
Capture contact details, request type, and who the purchase is for. Adjust the depth for new or returning clients.
Items and priorities
Ask for categories, quantities, must-haves, and priority order so the main need stays clear.
Sizes and fit
Show size questions only when relevant, and collect fit notes because labeled sizes vary by brand.
Taste and exclusions
Collect preferences and exclusions, plus uploads with notes about what the client likes in each reference.
Budget and approval
Separate merchandise budget from stated fees and define when client approval is required.
Timing and fulfillment
Collect the delivery deadline, event date, and time needed for shipping, alterations, or personalization.
