You can choose whether you’d like your order to be 100% online, or you’d prefer to come to the studio and have fittings.
Most garments can be made online. They will be made, finished and shipped to you, and they will fit (see FAQ ‘Will it fit me’ under the ‘Our garments’ section).
More elaborated garments, like wedding dresses or long gowns with sleeves, can also be made straight away and the fit will be very good, but fittings allow for more precise fit details, they allow for perfection.
So what’s the use of fittings?
They allow for fine-tune fit customization on-the-go, like how much of a cleavage you’d like your dress to have, or the exact skirt length you want.
But also, they allow your garment to be a work-in-progress: with each fitting you (and I) can see how the garment is turning on you, and sometimes we decide to change something.
Some women have a clear idea of the dress they want, and can visualize how it will look on them. They are usually right, and they love their dress when they receive it.
But for all the others, fittings are perfect because they allow you to see how your dress will look on you when it is not yet finished and permits to change the style, to add or substract elements and to change things like the neckline shape or hemline length.
