How a studio fitting works
What happens between the first meeting and the finished piece — step by step, without surprises.
First meeting — a conversation. What the occasion is, what feels comfortable, what has never worked. You leave with a sketch and a fabric.
Second fitting — the toile. A raw-cloth version sewn only to test the cut. Structure changes here, not colour.
Third fitting — the piece itself, in the final fabric. Last corrections to length and waistline.
Delivery — the piece is packed in the studio, with care instructions specific to the chosen cloth.
Roughly two weeks pass between stages. The full timeline runs from 3 to 12 weeks depending on complexity.
