Yes we do.

Yes. We are open to discussing your ideas and happy to fulfill your design requests.

We talk about the occasion and the specific details regarding the item. The next step is to sit side by side drawing sketches. After several sketches there will be the final one that fulfills the client’s vision for the event. Our clients participate in the whole process to ensure that the final product truly reflects who they are.

There is always time to talk and express opinions on choices and different options. I will work closely with the client to ensure she is happy, while providing my expertise when it comes to the specifics of the fabric.

To begin with a one-of-a-kind pattern is created to the exact measurements of the client. Once the pattern has been constructed we shape it to the client’s body, taking note of how the fabric fits and drapes. At this stage the customer’s input is imperative as this is where the design comes to life. While the pattern is simply made from muslin, it is still considered a piece, and the muslin provides an excellent indication of the finished garment. When the client is satisfied with the fit, the pattern shall be transferred to the chosen fabric. Throughout the process we shall continue to size the item to the client ensuring a 100% made to measure, custom tailored article of clothing. The entire process shall be done by hand guaranteeing the highest standards in terms of quality.

Where possible a year in advance is preferable. However, each situation is unique and we will do our very best to work within your schedule.

Ultimately, time is an important factor and we are conscious of being as time efficient as possible while not compromising the finished product. Based on the intricacy of a custom made design each item can take a minimum of six weeks to complete from consultation to finished gown. Do keep in mind that for special occasions we develop a prototype first and therefore the process takes longer.
