Custom Garment Consultation
Custom Garment Consultation
Have you had the perfect blouse or pair of pants or lingerie set in your brain but you can’t find it anywhere? Or do you have a vintage dress that is falling apart and you want to duplicate? Found a photo in a magazine and, with a few tweaks, you just can’t live without it? Let’s talk!
Collect all your inspiration photos and key words, get a budget in your brain and then let’s sit down and discuss making your dream a reality. We can either chat virtually (phone or video) for 30 minutes about what you’re looking for., or we can do this over email (3 email response limit) If we decide to go forward with the custom garment, the cost of the consultation will be applied to the final price of the garment.
Once you complete your purchase, I will send you an email asking if you’d like to talk or email consultation and we can go from there!
Note: you cannot order a custom garment without first having a consultation. Your consultation fee is non refundable because my time is non refundable.
Curious about pricing?
It’s tricky for me to price a garment without a consultation. I price the garments based on my time. I only charge $30/hour, which is a little insane when you consider that other specialized jobs like most auto mechanics and tattoo artists charge more like $150/hour. My price does not include fabric, which I ask that you purchase yourself with my guidance.
Here is some very loose ballpark pricing to help get you an idea for what I charge for custom garments. This includes me researching the garment and your choices, sketching out what you want so we have clear communication, drafting a pattern, washing, prepping and cutting the fabric, putting the garment together, finishing it impeccably and shipping it to you.
Lingerie/Bodysuit: $120+
Casual dress or romper: $150+
Formal dress or jumpsuit: $300+
Trousers: $150+
Shirt or blouse: $80+
