Design & Customization

Can you copy my clothing or a design based on a photo?

Yes, we can certainly copy any piece of clothing or create a new pattern based on any picture that you provide. As a matter of fact, Pinterest and Instagram are great sources for inspiration and design references to choose from! We are furthermore happy to provide ideas along with adjustments & styles.

Can you replicate a design from a photo or existing garment?

Absolutely! We can work from photos, sketches, or existing garments to replicate or adapt designs to your specifications. Bring your inspiration, and we'll bring it to life.

What is the difference between bespoke and made-to-measure?

Bespoke tailoring involves creating a unique pattern from scratch based on your exact measurements and design preferences, offering the highest level of customization. Made-to-measure uses an existing pattern that is then adjusted to your measurements.

Services & Process

What kind of garments do you tailor?

We specialize in women's tailoring, including dresses, suits, pants, skirts, blouses, and formal wear. We also offer wedding dress tailoring and alterations.

Do you tailor suits as well?

We get asked this quite a bit and yes we do 🙂 With a strong expertise in tailoring women's suits, whether casual or formal suits, we tailor both casual and formal suits. For suits in particular we have a wide range of both imported and local fabrics to choose from, ranging from wool blends to 100% wool, linen, and cashmere blends. We present leading imported fabrics such as Loro Piana, Dormeuil and Vitale Barberis Canonico, along with fabrics directly from local fabric mills.

Do you offer alteration services?

Yes, we provide professional alteration services for all types of garments, from casual wear to wedding dresses and bespoke suits.

How long does the tailoring process take?

Typically, the process involves a first visit for consultation and measurements, followed by a fitting session 7-10 days later. The final garment is usually ready for pickup or delivery 7 days after the fitting.

What is your policy on fittings and adjustments?

We typically schedule a second visit for a fitting session where adjustments can be made to ensure the perfect fit. Minor adjustments are usually completed on the spot, or within a few days.
