Experience of many years in fashion design industry allows us to achieve precise fitting of the garment and its appearance, as close to a sketch or photo and customers' specific requirements, as possible.
Sketches will be developed into a toile, made of cotton fabric in appropriate to the design weight, before committing to the final pattern. The toile will be draped on a dress form, adjusted to required measurements, to duplicate the design sketch and provide the basic pattern from which the garment will be sewn. The toile will be modified, corrected as needed until we are pleased with it's design and fit, and then carefully ripped apart and pressed so that it can be developed into a pattern. Patterns are hand-drafted using Metric pattern cutting method, based on customer's measurements, and draping techniques. Patterns are cut with or without seam allowances, on client's discretion. All patterns are supplemented with brief instruction, based on basic sewing skills.
The instruction includes patterns specification (description), amount of materials needed, fabric cutting layouts, notes for specific assembling and sewing technique. We will send you a photo(s) of completed toile fitted on the dress form. After your acceptance, completed patterns set and the toile will be dispatched to you.
