How it works

  1. 1

    Book a fitting

    Pick a time at our Bridge Road showroom. The first appointment takes about 45 minutes.

  2. 2

    Design it together

    We talk through the occasion, choose the cloth from 20,000+ fabrics, settle every style detail and take your measurements.

  3. 3

    Second fitting

    About four weeks later your garment is ready to try on. We check the fit and mark any final adjustments.

  4. 4

    Wear and reorder

    Final tweaks are made in-house, usually within a week. Your measurements stay on file for next time.
