Your First Time at the Tailors
For those who have never visited the tailors or had a suit fitting before, we understand that the idea can seem pretty daunting. We aim to reassure our customers and provide friendly service and expert knowledge, making you look and feel amazing and appreciated from start to finish.
A Few Words Worth Knowing
If you are visiting us to get some garments tailored, it helps to know a few keywords and phrases. “Letting out” and “taking in” refer to making the fit of a garment bigger or smaller, so that we can make the right alterations and ensure your clothing fits perfectly. If there is anything you are unsure of, our trained tailors will happily talk you through the process so that you can feel confident about your alterations. As well as personal tailoring, we also offer bespoke suit and garment services to create a garment exactly to your needs from scratch. If you have never gone bespoke before, the idea may seem intimidating, but we endeavour to make it a customer-focused and rewarding experience.
Starting Your Bespoke Journey
Getting your first bespoke suit is very exciting, and we understand the investment that goes into a custom garment built to last. We work with you to create a beautiful bespoke garment, from business wear to lesbian wedding suits, and your imagination is the limit. Our approachable and expertly trained staff will walk you through every step of the process, and don’t be afraid to ask questions if you have them. The first step is to share your vision with us and tell us a bit about yourself. Do you have favourite colours, or celebrity style icons you are inspired by? Getting to know you helps us make the most informed decisions and offer the best advice. We will then show you our fabric selection, guiding you to the cloths we think will complement your style and fit your needs.
The Mock-Up and the Fittings
We want to put the power in your hands to create a suit that is truly unique to you. If you are unfamiliar with certain terms or unsure how to explain exactly what you want, our tailors will explain the different cuts, features and styles of suit. Once you have chosen a cut you are confident will make you look and feel fantastic, we will create a cotton mock-up for you, helping you to visualise how the final product will fit. At this stage we can make many drastic alterations to ensure the fit is exactly right and feels great to wear, and the mock-up is only complete when you are happy with it.
Next, when your garment has been completed in the fabrics of your choice, we will invite you back to our friendly studio for another fitting. Here we apply our expertise to make any necessary tweaks so that your garment is just how you imagined it at the start of the process, and fits you like a glove. Then, with one final visit, when the last alterations and touch-ups have been made, you can come and collect your garment and take it home with the confidence that it is uniquely yours, forever. Our bespoke suits and garments are made to last a lifetime, and we will always welcome you back for any future alterations to keep your suit a perfect fit.
