Questions
How long does the process take?

The process is dependent on many things, availability of clients time for consultations and fittings and the weight of work in progress but usually 6-8 weeks allows for the work necessary when creating a unique product.

Can I order a stock size? What happens if it doesn’t fit?

Yes you can order a stock size if you are confident that you are a stock size. The measurement chart is there to provide you with measurement details.  I can still tweak a garment made to a stock size to get the fit just right. However I am dedicated to providing a service allowing for body shape and size anomalies, which are so very common, and so have chosen the bespoke root. If a stock size does not fit it is indicative of the need for a made to measure.

Why do you choose British wool?

Britain has the most wonderful history of cloth manufacturing, such skilled weavers and the choice is exceptional. Different weights of cloth, different patterns within the weave, beautiful colours and high quality that is consistent and a signature of their craft. Also it keeps the miles travelled to a minimum, which is an added bonus.

Why do you make-to-measure?

Made-to-measure is essential for a custom fit  as no two people are the same. Arm lengths are different, bust sizes are different, body lengths are different, leg lengths are different and so on. This has been born out again and again as I have made clothes for real ladies not the generic sizing.
