01
Consultation
Tell us the occasion, the date and the look you want, and any parts of your figure you'd like to flatter. Feel free to bring photos of styles you love.
Bespoke Process
Our Process
Five steps from consultation, measuring and fabric selection to fitting and finishing.
02
Measuring
We measure shoulder width, bust, waist and hips, arm and leg length and more, then draft a pattern from your measurements alone.
03
Design & Fabric
We settle details such as collar, buttons, pockets and length, and you choose your fabric by touching the swatches yourself.
04
Fitting
You try on the basted garment while we refine the lines, ease and length — and keep adjusting until it fits perfectly.
05
Finishing
You try on the finished piece, we make the final touches, and it's yours.
What to bring
- The shoes you'll wear (to set trouser and skirt lengths exactly)
- Photos or sketches of designs you like
- Your event date and venue
- The underlayer you'll wear beneath
Timing
Timing depends on the garment and the number of fittings. If you have an event date, please tell us at your first visit and we'll plan around it.
