Your wardrobe, Your way…
Choosing to invest in custom made pieces or upcycling old beloved garments whatever the occasion is the way forward to helping you feel your most authentic self..
There are two types of custom work
Custom from scratch
While there are a big investment , this is an option for those who want individuality down to the smallest detail, whether for a everyday garment or a Jane Austen cosplay..
Altering a garment
This option most suits those who have some very loved pieces in their wardrobes but never wear them due to need some alterations to make them perfect or want to upcycle them into something new.
Things to consider with custom pieces
Your inspiration
Having inspiration photos, drawing and source material are all important, more is better when starting out on this journey!
Budget
Custom work requires a larger budget than off-the-rack items. To avoid surprises, it’s key to have a realistic budget in mind. For example If the base cost is £800, we suggest budgeting £1,000.
This extra amount covers any adjustments or unexpected issues that are common when having a garment custom made/altered as the process and changes needed can sometimes be extensive.
Timeline
The time it takes to complete your custom project depends on its scope.
A smaller piece might take a few weeks, while a larger, more intricate one could take a year.
We encourage you to share your ideal timeline with us, but it’s always best to be flexible and allow for extra time.
