How do I customize a stole?
Choose the style of stole to order, then simply choose from the options provided on the design page to create your own customized stole. Need help? Click on the Help link on the Customizer Page to see a short video that guides you through the design process. To add horizontal text on more than one line, set the spacing up in the text box before you add it to the stole layout. Make sure your selection is highlighted when you want to move or resize your selections. All of our stoles are fully lined and customized just for you, and fully embroidered. You can add custom logos, greek symbols, and custom text. Text can be aligned vertically, horizontally, or slanted. All Stole layouts will be reviewed before production. Extra charges may apply if the entire area of stole is covered by your text and designs. We generally have 3 sections for designing – Upper, Middle, and Lower. Production time is 3-4 weeks during our peak season. Rush charges may apply for orders less than 10 days. Minimum order charges may apply (including orders below $150). If you want us to preview your order before you add to shopping cart to verify your layout or charges, download a .pdf copy after designing and email to orders@gradstoles.com. Remember, you get up to a 25% discount when you order online.
What is the difference between your custom One Color Stole and Two Color Stoles
Our Custom Stoles are available as a one color stole, or you can add a trim for a 2-color stole. One color stoles generally have a rounded back, and two color stoles have a pointed back. Please add in notes if you want a pointed back on one color stoles. You can also choose between Pointed, Slanted, or Straight bottom. Choose between 66″, 72″ or 88″ lengths. All of our stoles are a high quality bridal satin, and fully lined. All stoles are 100% embroidered, unless you specifically request another custom method.
