How yours is made

Plan on about ten weeks for a bespoke piece. If the wedding is sooner, the store holds a ready collection that we alter to fit.

  1. ConsultationAn hour in the store with a stylist. We talk through the three days, your colours and your family’s, and pull pieces from the collection to try.
  2. Drawing and fabricYour piece is drawn, the fabric chosen and the embroidery placed on paper before a single stitch is made.
  3. FittingsA first fitting in toile, then the finished piece. The turban and khussas are matched and tried with it.
  4. CollectionPressed, packed and handed over in the store, with a final look in the mirror.
