SCULPTURE FAQ
Whether you’re capturing your pregnancy, recreating a previous bump, celebrating motherhood or simply creating a sculpture of your body as it is today, we know you might have a few questions.
Below you’ll find everything you need to know about booking, your session, posing, finishes, delivery and creating your Milestonable sculpture. If there’s anything we haven’t answered, we’re always happy to help, please contact us at admin@milestonable.com
When is the best time to have a pregnancy sculpture made?
We usually recommend meeting us between 30 and 35 weeks of pregnancy, when your bump is beautifully defined and there’s still plenty of time before your little one arrives.
If you’re expecting twins, we recommend coming a little earlier, usually between 28 and 33 weeks.
These are guidelines rather than rules. We’ve created beautiful sculptures during the second trimester and after 35 weeks too, so if your timings are a little different, you are still very welcome.
How far in advance should I book my sculpture session?
We recommend booking your sculpture as soon as you know you’d love one, so you have the best chance of securing a date that works for you.
You can see our latest availability on the Book Me In page. Fridays and Saturdays are our most popular days and tend to book up first.
Can you create a pregnancy sculpture after I've had my baby?
Yes. If your pregnancy has already passed, we can recreate your bump using photographs taken while you were pregnant.
We’ll capture your body as it is today using our 3D camera, then carefully recreate your pregnancy bump from your photographs to create your sculpture.
Or, if you’d love to capture this new chapter instead, we can create a motherhood sculpture of you with your baby. We usually recommend these sessions while your little one is up to four months old.
Where do Milestonable Sculpture sessions take place?
Our sculpture sessions take place at our lovely studio on Brewer Street in Soho, London (W1F 0SG).
We’re easy to reach by public transport, with Tottenham Court Road, Covent Garden, Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus stations all within walking distance. Perfect if you live in London, work here or travel by train. Combine a visit to us with exploring Central London.
Whether you’re visiting us from London or travelling a little further, we look forward to welcoming you!
How long does a sculpture session take?
Most Milestonable sculpture sessions take around an hour.
We’ll start by getting to know you, showing you examples of our sculptures and explaining how everything works. You’ll then have the chance to explore different poses before we capture your favourites using our 3D camera.
It’s your session, so we’ll help you feel comfortable throughout the experience.
How long do I have to pose?
Just two minutes per pose! That’s all the time our 3D camera needs to capture your silhouette. Afterwards, you can relax, see yourself in 3D and decide whether you’d like to try another pose or make any little adjustments.
Do I need to know how I want to pose before my session?
Not at all! That’s what we’re here for. We’ll show you different examples and help you explore a few poses in front of the mirror until you find one that feels right for you.
If you’d like a little inspiration beforehand, you can always browse our previous sculptures on our website or Instagram. Otherwise, simply come as you are, and we’ll figure it out together.
What should I wear for my sculpture session?
|
Whatever makes you feel most comfortable! If you’d love your sculpture to capture the natural contours of your body, we usually recommend seamless underwear, preferably a thong. You’re equally welcome to be completely undressed if that’s your preference. We’ll have a dressing gown ready for you to wear before, after and between poses. You are also welcome to bring your own dressing gown if you prefer so. Our aim is to help you feel comfortable and confident throughout your session, so the choice is entirely yours. |
Can I bring someone with me to my sculpture session?
Of course! You’re very welcome to bring your partner, a friend or a family member along for a little moral support.
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable during your session.
Please note that we don’t have a separate waiting area in our building. If you’d prefer some privacy while posing, your guest can enjoy one of the lovely coffee shops nearby and rejoin you afterwards.
Can I buy a Milestonable sculpture as a gift?
Absolutely! A Milestonable sculpture makes a wonderfully personal gift, whether you’re celebrating a pregnancy, motherhood or someone special.
If you already have a date in mind, you can book a sculpture session directly through our booking page. Just let us know it’s a gift and whether you have a particular budget, so we can tailor the options we show during the session.
Not sure which date would work? Email Amelia at (admin@milestonable.com) and we’ll be happy to arrange a gift voucher instead.
Can I have a Milestonable sculpture if I'm not pregnant?
Of course! You don’t need to be pregnant to celebrate your body.
Our bespoke body sculptures are for women at every stage of life. Whether you’re marking a personal milestone, celebrating how far you’ve come or simply want a beautiful piece of art that’s entirely you, we’d love to create something special together.
You’ll enjoy the same personalised experience at our London studio, where we’ll help you find a pose that feels right for you.
How long does it take to make and receive my sculpture?
|
Every Milestonable sculpture is made especially for you, and we want to make sure it’s absolutely beautiful before it reaches its new home. Production begins once we’ve received your sculpture preferences in writing and full payment. Our estimated production times depend on your chosen collection: Estimated production time Notting Hill 20 weeks Soho 20 weeks Marylebone 20 weeks Chelsea 35 weeks Once your sculpture is ready, we’ll email you to confirm your delivery address before sending it on its way. Occasionally, a sculpture may need a little extra attention during our quality checks. If anything affects your estimated timeline, we’ll keep you updated. |
What happens if my sculpture is damaged or breaks?
We know how special your sculpture is, and we’re here to help if something happens to it.
If your sculpture is accidentally damaged or broken after you’ve received it, we can create a replacement for you, with £100 off the listed price of your new sculpture.
If your sculpture arrives damaged during delivery, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours, and send us photographs of the damage. We’ll arrange an appropriate repair, replacement or remake at no additional cost to you.
What is the cancellation policy?
We understand that plans can change!
If you need to cancel or reschedule your sculpture session, please let us know as soon as possible. You can do this directly through your booking confirmation email.
The more notice you can give us, the better, as it allows us to offer your appointment to someone else.
Can I change my sculpture's finish after my session?
Yes! You don’t need to make every decision during your appointment. After your session, we’ll email you so you can confirm your preferred pose, size, finish and any little details you’d like us to keep or remove.
If you change your mind after sending us your preferences, please let us know within two weeks. After that, your sculpture may already be well underway, so whether we can make further changes will depend on how far we’ve progressed.
When do I need to provide my delivery address?
There’s no need to worry about your delivery address just yet! We know a lot can change while we’re creating your sculpture, especially if you’re preparing for a new arrival or moving home.
Once your sculpture is ready, we’ll email you to confirm your delivery details. This helps us make sure your sculpture arrives at the right place and at a convenient time.
What happens if I decide not to go ahead after my session?
We hope you’ll fall in love with the idea of your very own sculpture, but we understand that circumstances can change.
If you decide not to go ahead after your session, please let us know as soon as possible.
Our current policy provides for a £100 session charge to cover the time and equipment used during your appointment. This would be deducted from any applicable refund, subject to your statutory rights.
Do you deliver Milestonable sculptures internationally?
Yes! We can arrange international delivery, so you can enjoy your Milestonable sculpture even if you live outside the UK.
If you have a UK delivery address available, such as a family member’s or friend’s home, we recommend considering this option to reduce the distance your sculpture needs to travel.
Please be aware that international deliveries may be subject to additional customs or import charges, which are your responsibility.
What is your returns and refunds policy?
Returns, Remakes & Customer Satisfaction Policy
Every sculpture is individually handcrafted and created specifically for you. Each piece is deeply personal, and our goal is to create something that you will love, cherish, and feel proud to display for years to come.
Because every sculpture is bespoke, we do not offer returns or refunds if you changed your mind or because the finished piece differs from personal expectations. Instead, we are committed to working with you until your sculpture feels right.
Our Promise
If you’re not completely happy with your finished sculpture, please get in touch with us. We will work with you to find the best solution. Depending on your concerns, this may include:
- Refining or repairing specific details.
- Adjusting or changing the finish or patina.
- Making alterations where possible.
- Remaking the sculpture if necessary.
Our priority is always to create a sculpture that you truly connect with and are proud to own.
Why We Don’t Accept Returns
Every sculpture is created exclusively for the individual or family who commissioned it. Due to the personal and bespoke nature of our work, these pieces cannot be resold or repurposed for another customer.
For this reason, our focus is always on improving the sculpture rather than returning it. We believe this approach results in the best outcome for you and ensures each artwork receives the care and attention it deserves.
Working Together
Creating a bespoke sculpture is a collaborative process. We encourage open communication throughout your commission, and if any aspect of the finished piece doesn’t meet your expectations, we ask that you let us know as soon as possible.
We will discuss your concerns with you and agree on the most appropriate solution. In the vast majority of cases, thoughtful refinements or, where appropriate, a remake will achieve the result you’re looking for.
Damaged Items
If your sculpture arrives damaged in transit, please contact us within 24 hours of delivery and include photographs of the damage.
We will arrange the appropriate repair, replacement, or remake at no additional cost to you.
Our Commitment
Our reputation is built on creating meaningful sculptures that celebrate the women they represent. We want every client to receive a piece that brings lasting joy and pride.
How much does a Milestonable sculpture cost?
Milestonable sculptures start from £557, including your sculpture session, bespoke sculpture, VAT and postage. The final price depends on the size and finish you choose, with a range of options available to see and feel during your session.
You can explore all of our sizes, finishes and prices on our pricing page.
What are Milestonable sculptures made from?
|
We offer a range of materials and finishes, so you can choose the look that feels most at home with you. Our collections include resin sculptures with colour or wax finishes, liquid-metal finishes and traditionally cast bronze. You’ll be able to see and feel examples during your session before deciding which one you love. |
Wish to have your own sculpture?
A memento to show to your little one. We look forward to help you eternalising this moment.
