    *Letting out a garment may affect bottom hem.

  • [ $75 + ]

    Choose to have a custom pattern drafted just for you or supply your own. Either way you’ll participate in fabric selection and design choices to ensure the final piece reflects your style. Multiple fittings are recommended (and may be required).
