ATTENTION ALL VISITORS!! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT BELOW!!
Click on the lil drop-down thingy here, if you would be so kind. ^_^
Almost every garment listing you see in my store is merely a "floor model" to give you an idea of the basic possibilities available. The options for bespoke clothing are so vast that I often create custom listings for my customers once we're done consulting, and I take only a third of the price up front to begin working on the item.
Cloths, linings, trimmings, cuts, styles, pockets, and size differences, are just a few of the common variables that come into play.
More importantly, I will actually make your customized pattern before you even spend a penny, in order to give you a good idea of how your garment will look, and to give ME an estimation of how much cloth I must buy, which helps me determine the final price.
Oh! Another important thing.
As I mentioned above, payment plans are available! Custom garments are an investment! So, I generally handle this by allowing payments to be made in thirds—1/3rd up front, 1/3rd after the first fitting, and 1/3rd upon completion. This arrangement also allows you to see the progress of your item as it's created in order to ensure your satisfaction with the product. I've contacted Etsy customer service regarding this plan and it's cool with them. They even suggested I use PayPal forms to handle the transaction.
The process for bespoke garment making is quite a different experience than most are familiar with in a fast-paced cookie-cutter world, but here's a decent break-down:
1. We consult to discuss your desired item.
2. We take your measurements, and I draft you a pattern.
3. I give you a price quote and you put down 1/3rd of the cost up front.
4. After ordering the cloths and trimmings, I cut your suit from scratch.
5. After making what's called a "skeleton baste," I send it to you to try on.
6. You send it back to me and I make any needed alterations.
7.The item is sent back to you for a second fitting (if necessary.)
8. I finish the garment and deliver it to you upon receiving the final payment.
The finished garment is shipped carefully in a professional garment bag and a proper suit hanger for storage and travel. More details are available to read on my store policy page.
