the couture experience
design vision and consultation
After an initial consultation in which we discuss your vision, I will produce one or more sketches of possible designs to choose from. These sketches may be modified until the final design is agreed upon. I will also guide you through fabric choices, so your unique vision can come to life.
custom pattern creation
An in-person fitting session is generally recommended for taking measurements. If working remotely, you'll be guided through measurement-taking for the best results. You will then have a personalized pattern drafted for you that is customized to your unique design and size.
mockup fitting
Typically, we will then fit one to three mockups of your garment. Fittings will happen in-person, or (for remote work) you'll be mailed a mockup of your garment and we'll fit it with the help of video chats and photos. Alterations will be made based off the fitting. Now that we have your bespoke design and custom fitted pattern we can move on to constructing the commissioned piece in your desired fabric.
garment construction
It's time to begin cutting your materials and assembling your final garment. Between 10 to 100 hours might be invested in the construction phase of your slow-fashion garment. Plenty of updates will be sent as you see your vision coming to life. When sewing is finally complete, your bespoke garment will be ready to head home with you!
