what does a bespoke fitting feel like?
Each review comes from a single consultation, a single fitting, and a garment that moved with her. Here is what they say.
I brought a scrap of fabric from my grandmother's wedding dress and left with a gown that held her memory in every seam. Annelis understood without a single word.

Three fittings for a suit that feels like a second skin. The shoulders, the waist, the length of the sleeve — every detail was adjusted until it was mine.

I needed a dress for a gallery opening in ten days. Annelis said yes, took my measurements, and delivered a piece that drew more compliments than the art.

Have a question about the process?
We have answered a few of the most common ones below. Feel free to reach out if yours is not here.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Bring any inspiration images, fabric swatches you love, and a clear idea of the occasion. We will discuss silhouette, fabric, and timeline during the fitting.
How many fittings does a bespoke piece require?
Typically two to three fittings. The first measures and drafts the pattern, the second refines the fit, and a final check ensures everything is perfect before delivery.
What is the typical turnaround time for a custom garment?
Most pieces require four to six weeks from the initial consultation to final delivery. Rush orders may be possible depending on the complexity and current schedule.
Do I need to choose fabrics from your collection, or can I bring my own?
You are welcome to bring your own fabric. We also have an exclusive collection of materials sourced for drape, durability, and feel. We can advise on what works best for your design.
Can you work from an existing garment I want to have replicated?
Yes. Bring the garment to the consultation. We will study its construction and create a new pattern based on your measurements, improving the fit without copying it exactly.
Is there a minimum budget for a bespoke project?
Every project is quoted individually based on fabric, complexity, and labor. We can discuss your budget openly during the consultation and design something that fits it.
Still have questions?
Send us a message or book a consultation. We are happy to walk you through every step.
The best time to start is before you feel ready.
No sketches, no fabric, no idea where to begin — that is exactly the right moment to walk through the door. We guide the rest.
