Follow these simple steps to ensure your custom garment fits you perfectly. All you need is a flexible measuring tape.
Measure across your back from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other, keeping the tape flat.
Measure from the edge of your shoulder, along the outside of your relaxed arm, to your desired sleeve length.
Measure around the armhole where the sleeve joins the body. Pass the tape from the top of the shoulder, under the armpit, and back to the starting point. Keep the tape comfortably snug. Measure over a lightweight shirt or close-fitting clothing, keeping your arm relaxed at your side.
With muscles relaxed, measure around the fullest part of your upper arm. Keep the tape snug with room for one finger.
Wrap the measuring tape around your wrist bone, where a watch would sit. Keep the tape snug but not tight. Leave room for one finger between the tape and your wrist for comfort
Measure from the highest point of the shoulder, next to the neck, over the fullest part of the bust, and straight down to your desired dress hem. Continue measuring to the finished length of the dress you wish to order, whether it’s a mini, knee-length, midi, maxi, or floor-length dress.
Measure around the base of your neck where a collar would sit, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
Stand straight with your arms relaxed. Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level and snug with room for a finger.
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, typically above the belly button. Keep the tape level with room for one finger.
Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips and seat. Keep the tape level with room for one finger.
Women’s Measuring Guide
All you need is a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, stand naturally with your weight even on both feet, and keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger. Below is every measurement we may ask for. You do not have to get each number perfect: we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, so the fit is confirmed on your body first.
Stand straight with your arms relaxed and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level and snug with room for one finger.
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
Measure around the area where you normally wear your trousers or skirts, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips and seat, keeping the tape level.
Measure around the fullest part of your upper thigh, keeping the tape snug with room for one finger.
Sit down and measure from your natural waist at the front, down between your legs to the seat, to capture the rise for trousers.
Measure from the highest point of the crotch down the inside of your leg to the same hem point used for the trouser length measurement.
Measure from the top of your waistband down the outside of your leg to the point where you want the trouser hem to finish.
Measure across your back from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other, keeping the tape flat.
Measure from the edge of your shoulder, along the outside of your relaxed arm, to your desired sleeve length.
With your muscles relaxed, measure around the fullest part of your upper arm, keeping the tape snug with room for one finger.
Measure around the base of your neck where a collar would sit, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
Measure from the base of your neck down the center back to where you want the jacket to end.
Measure from your natural waist for a skirt, or from the shoulder for a dress, down to your desired hem.
Every garment is made to your measurements with no standard sizing, and a free test garment confirms the fit on your body before we cut your final cloth. Bust, waist, hips, thighs, rise, inseam, shoulders, sleeve, and length, all cut to you.

This is the full production time across two stages. Your test garment takes 3 to 4 weeks to make. Once you approve the fit, your final garment takes another 3 to 4 weeks. Shipping is tracked and comes after production.

A ruffle hem midi dress lives or dies by two measurements: where the flounce starts and where it stops. Off the rack, both are fixed for one height, so on a shorter woman the ruffle swallows the calf and on a taller one it ends above the point that makes the leg look long.
This gingham ruffle hem midi dress is cut to your measurements in 100% cotton poplin, with a scoop neck at the front, a deep V at the back, a removable tie belt and a flounce that is placed for your height. It is unlined, closes with a hidden zip at the center back and goes in the washing machine. A free cotton test dress comes first, so the waist and the hem are right before the gingham is cut.

Free Test Dress
Two corrections come up most often on this dress. The first is the waist: if it sits even an inch too low, the tie belt slides down and the bodice looks long. The second is the flounce line, which we raise or lower so the ruffle starts just below your knee rather than at a point set for someone else’s height.
Gingham also shows every fault in the cut, because the checks have to run straight across the bodice. The test dress lets us confirm the bust and the back V in cotton first.
The Ruffle Hem
| Where the flounce starts | Just below the knee, so the straight part of the skirt covers the knee and the movement begins below it. |
| Where it ends | At the narrowest part of the calf for a classic midi, or lower for a longer line; never at the widest part of the calf. |
| Depth of the flounce | Scaled to your height, so the ruffle stays a detail rather than half the skirt. |
| Vent-less hem | The flounce gives walking room, so there is no slit to break the check. |
A midi dress with a ruffle hem is a matter of proportion more than decoration. The flounce adds width at the bottom of the dress, which balances the hips and makes the waist look narrower, but only when it sits at the right height. That is why we cut the line from your measurements instead of from a size.
Cotton Poplin
Poplin is a tight plain weave of fine cotton yarns, the same weave used for crisp dress shirts. It is light enough for a hot day and firm enough to hold the curve of the flounce, where a softer cotton would hang flat. Being all cotton, it breathes and can be washed at home.
| Unlined | Cooler in summer heat; a skin-tone slip helps in very bright sun on light grounds. |
| No stretch | The fit comes from the cut, which is why the test dress comes first. |
| Creases | Cotton creases more than a blend; it presses out quickly while slightly damp. |
| Care | Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang to dry. |

How to Wear It
| Daytime | Flat sandals or espadrilles and a woven bag. |
| Summer weddings and parties | Heeled sandals, the belt tied, and simple earrings; the back V does the rest. |
| Cooler evenings | A short cardigan or a cropped jacket that stops at the waist. |
| Travel | It packs flat and washes in a hotel sink. |

Women’s Dress Fit Guide
A dress is the hardest thing to buy off the rack, because it has to fit the bust, the waist, the hip, and the length all at the same time, and almost no one is a single standard size in all four. So you settle: a dress that fits the bust but hangs at the waist, or fits the waist but strains across the hip, or is always an inch too long or too short. A custom-made dress ends the compromise. There are no standard sizes, we cut it to your measurements everywhere at once, and before we cut your final cloth we send you a free test garment so the fit is proven on your body first. This page answers the worries that come with ordering a dress you cannot try on yet.
How It Should Sit
Every dress is made to your measurements with no standard sizing, so the bust, waist, hip, and length all fit at once. A free test garment confirms the fit on your body before your final cloth is cut, and it is yours to keep.
