Getting the rightSizes & Measurements

At the moment I sell on a personal basis because I offer a bespoke service which means I need to be able to assess my clients needs, take their measurements and make and fit the toile and garment personally. In the future I hope to be able to offer a small online range where the need for such specific fit is reduced but as I make everything at the moment this isn’t viable for me.

Using one colour lining is an AMF Signature. I have chosen a gorgeous red that goes with everything. It also allows for better sustainability as I can use up every small piece and not have metres or half metres accumulating. However if a client really wants a different colour then I can accommodate their wishes.

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.

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.
