Our Process
Step 1: Consultation (60-90 Minutes)
-
During your initial visit, our goal is to understand your needs and preferences . It begins with a concept vision for a unique piece that is truly your one-of-a-kind.
-
We'll explore fabrics from prestigious mills, discuss style options and accents, and help you make the stylistic choices that best suit you.
-
Finally, our team will take precise measurements to create a garment with an impeccable fit.
Step 2: First Fitting Session (Week 3 from Consultation)
-
Around week three from your consultation, we will invite you to the atelier for your first fitting. This step reflects our bespoke approach —thorough and meticulous, with no shortcuts taken.
-
Think of this fitting as a 'first draft'. Each seam has allowances, and every panel is carefully examined for adjustments, bringing us closer to achieving your perfect fit.
Step 3: Slip-On Fitting (Week 5 from Consultation)
-
By week 5 the garment is 90% complete and ready for your second fitting.
-
Since your first fitting the garment has evolved to a slip-on state. we assess the impact from previous adjustments and confirm final measurements, such as sleeve length and trouser outseam to proceed with cutting sleeve buttonholes and finalizing the trouser hem style.
-
Gustavo will then conduct a final inspection of the garment to determine if any additional tweaks are needed.
Step 4: Final Fitting Session
-
1 to 2 weeks after the slip-on fitting, we reach the final step. What began as a concept is now a finished garment.
-
The first commission is always the most time-consuming. Now that the client’s personal pattern is established, future commissions will be much quicker, provided there are no major physical changes.
-
As we take time with the client to admire their completed garment, ideas for their next sartorial project may start to emerge.
