How it works

From an idea to a perfect fit

  1. a woman laying out orange fabric on a long work tableExample photo

    Bring the fabric or the idea

    Your own cloth, a photo of a style you like, or a garment that needs fixing. [#8 Sophie: can you also buy or supply the fabric for a client?]

  2. hands pinning black fabric beside a measuring tape and scissorsExample photo

    Get measured

    We take your measurements and talk through the style, the details and the quote.

  3. a young woman sewing at a white machineExample photo

    We make it

    Cut, sewn and finished in our workshop. [#9 Sophie: usual time from order to fitting, e.g. one to two weeks?]

  4. a dressmaker adjusting the fit of a garment on a clientExample photo

    Fit and finish

    You try it on and we adjust until it sits right.
