Frequently asked questions

Our Mockup service is highly recommended for all custom orders. This service starts at $120 and allows for us to create a disposable trial garment made from your measurements and custom drafted pattern to then send to you and try on before any final garments are made. This disposable mockup is typically made of cotton, and doesn't have all the construction elements your final garment would have, but allows you to check the fit and comfort of your final garments shape in the comfort of your own home. If something is too tight or too long this is the perfect way to note those changes and correct them in a pre construction stage. This service guarantees there are no surprises when you receive your final garment and gives you piece of mind that you are getting a garment you know you will be happy with.

When you submit an inquiry with us please be as detailed as possible as to what you are looking for. We will do our best to establish exactly what you are looking for and how we can bring it to reality and within what type of budget. Once agreed upon, a deposit is then required.
