Hand-made fashion, made for you
Bespoke services are for the discerning client seeking one-of-a-kind pieces of wearable art.
Each garment is custom-made, tailored precisely to the client’s measurements, and designed to complement the body’s unique proportions. While most bespoke work is created for special occasions—such as fundraisers, galas, holidays, or weddings—styles can range from structured business attire and eveningwear to bridal, loungewear, corsetry, outerwear, and tailored separates. Regardless of category, every piece is crafted with meticulous attention to construction and made from the highest-quality materials, sourced from premier mills in Europe and Asia.
Sustainability is a core part of my bespoke practice. I prioritize natural fibers, minimize waste through efficient patternmaking and cutting techniques, and thoughtfully save fabric remnants for creative reuse. Every garment is designed with longevity and intention.
Clients may also opt for custom-dyed, hand-painted, printed, or embellished textiles, which I am happy to develop in-house. For projects requiring large yardages or specialized techniques, I collaborate with trusted production partners in digital printing, knitting, crochet, weaving, and dyeing.
Bespoke projects typically require two to four weeks to complete, allowing time for fittings and material sourcing. Express services (within one week) may be possible depending on the project scope, fabric availability, client scheduling for rush fittings, and my current workload.
For time-sensitive deliveries, clients should be prepared to attend multiple, closely scheduled fittings.
The Bespoke Process
Bespoke is defined by meticulous attention to detail, even in everyday garments—celebrating quiet moments of joy through hidden notes, hand-embroidered signatures, and thoughtfully chosen buttons.
Unlike ready-to-wear, high dressmaking is luxury fashion that involves time-consuming hand-sewing techniques throughout the entire production process:
Central to my work is the investment in premium linings that ensure both comfort and style. At my studio, carefully shaped and color-matched facings, paired with hand-embroidered labels, are a signature detail—reflecting a deep passion for garment construction and thoughtful design, especially on the inside.
Timeline and Pricing (USD)
$200 Consultation Fee
This fee covers any meetings necessary to discuss your project, take measurements, and create a professional client portfolio that includes material samples and design sketches. The portfolio is typically completed within a week after the initial meeting to allow for the delivery of material samples if they are not readily available in my archive.
After a design is finalized, a fitting sample is created out of cotton muslin to ensure the fit of the final product. This fitting can be scheduled within a few days of selecting the design depending on the complexity of the pattern that needs to be developed.
$$$+ Variable Deposit
A deposit equivalent to half the total project price covers material costs and initial production expenses such as sample fittings. Materials include not only visible fabrics but also specialty threads, interfacings, and linings essential for layered or structured garments. Custom-dyed, painted, or embellished materials typically cost more, reflecting both production and design work. The deposit is required before final garment production begins.
$$$$+ Variable Total Price
The total price covers the full construction of and follow-up services for your garment. Bespoke design is an investment that includes any fitting alterations or repairs that may be needed in the future to ensure your garment’s longevity. Significant design or style changes such as changing a neckline or hem style are not included.
Specialized mail services for destination events are available if a short timeline requires it.
