The Bespoke Journey: From Vision to Perfect Fit
Our meticulous five-step process ensures a garment that is truly yours, tailored to precision.
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Style Discussion
Begin with a complimentary 60-minute consultation. We discuss your personal style, needs, and vision for the garment, advising on aesthetic and functional details. This is where your bespoke journey truly begins.
Step 2: Measurements & Pattern Creation
Our tailor takes precise, 40-point measurements unique to your physique. Using these, a personalised paper pattern is meticulously drafted – the blueprint of your bespoke garment.
Step 3: First Fitting & Initial Construction (2-3 Weeks)
The garment is basted together for your first fitting. We assess the initial drape and fit, identifying any necessary adjustments before proceeding with full construction.
Step 4: Second Fitting & Refinements (4-5 Weeks)
With much of the garment constructed, a second fitting allows for fine-tuning. We perfect the silhouette, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision and provides the ultimate comfort and aesthetic.
Step 5: Final Delivery & Care (6 Weeks)
Your finished bespoke garment is presented. We provide detailed care instructions to ensure its longevity, ready for you to enjoy. This truly is a piece made exclusively for you.
