The Process
Fabric Selection
Firstly, we’ll deliberate with you extensively on where (setting, occasion, etc.) and when (season, time of day, etc.) the garments will be worn to help you select the most suitable fabric.
Measurements
Next, we’ll take your measurements. For instance, approximately 35 measures and figuration notes are accounted for by the end of an entire suit making process. Our statistical algorithm verifies your measurements’ accuracy, both separately and as a whole. If the algorithm and our experts detect anomalies, we will contact you to double check and fix them together.
Pattern Creation
Using all of the information gathered, a unique personal paper pattern is then constructed by your couturier. A couturier is dedicated to each client and is responsible for overseeing the entire process. The couturier will work closely with garment specialists to create exactly what you desire.
Shearing
Once all parts of the paper pattern are drafted, they’re laid onto the cloth you chose, then drawn around using tailoring chalk. Cutting along these chalk lines using sophisticated tailoring shears, we create the individual panels of each garment. At this stage all the internal canvases, lining and other components such as fixings and fasteners are bundled.
Baste Fitting
This ‘bundle’ is now ready for one of our specialist in-house tailors to sew together for what is known as a ‘baste fitting’. Here, you’ll try the garments on without having to step out from the comfort of your home. Your couturier will analyse the fit, balance, size and shape with you to help you get a sense of how the garments are going to look once the agreed alterations have been made.
Hand Stitching
After your baste fitting, the final stages of hand-stitching can take place, including handmade button holes. Your bespoke clothing is then given a final hand-press before the buttons are sewn on by hand for a robust finish.
Order Ready
Finally, your bespoke order is now complete and ready for delivery to an address of your choosing. And, we have an exact two-dimensional pattern unique to you, that can be used in the future to create more such exquisite garments.
A one-of-a-kind investment!
Bespoke garments are an investment. And as with any investment, it's important to know what you are getting into ahead of time. A dedicated couturier will help you navigate each and every step of your bespoke garment's journey.
