Bespoke

 

EllesB&W

Do you have a special occasion and need a really special outfit?

A dress you’ve seen that you love the style of, but it just didn’t fit?

Colours or materials that really suit you, but you can’t find anything around the shopping malls or boutiques that really ‘tick your box’?

Sounds familiar?  That’s where my Bespoke Service becomes an essential.  From design to finished items, shopping for materials; pattern cutting to personal fitting – you can be assured of owning an outfit that you’ll just love.

Inspiration for your dress or outfit might come from couture, an adaptation of one of my existing designs, or simply a new twist on one of your ‘existing favourites’ from your wardrobe!

This made to measure service includes an initial consultation, a further meeting to make a selection from my design drawings, at least two fittings – the first with a toile of the design in calico, and then a final fitting before your items are fully finished.  It takes time, and it isn’t the cheapest route – but you will be absolutely delighted with the results.

Completely hand-made, even the choice of fabrics is yours.  The only thing you need is a little time.  It takes at least a month – but it will be fun!  And of course once we created your first bespoke dress or outfit, it’s that much quicker next time.  I’ll have all your measurements and basic pattern block to hand!
