Our Tailoring Process

We follow a meticulous process to ensure the perfect fit for every garment that passes through our studio.

01. Initial Consultation & Measuring

We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your needs and preferences. Precise measurements are taken, considering both your body's proportions and the specific requirements of the garment.

02. Assessment & Planning

Our tailors carefully examine the garment, assess fabric properties, and determine the most appropriate techniques for alterations or repairs. We develop a detailed plan for modifications.

03. Marking & Preparation

The garment is marked with temporary indicators to guide alterations. This crucial step ensures precision and creates a clear roadmap for the work to come.

04. Careful Disassembly

When needed, garments are partially disassembled with extreme care, preserving structural elements and original details that contribute to the garment's character and quality.

05. Alteration & Construction

Our skilled tailors execute the alterations or repairs using appropriate techniques and materials. This step combines technical expertise with an artistic touch to achieve the desired results.

06. Quality Check & Finishing

Each garment undergoes a thorough quality inspection. Final pressing and finishing touches ensure that the altered garment looks impeccable and ready for wear.
