How to Take Your Own Measurements for a Perfect Fit
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.
1
Bust circumference
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.

3
Waist (trouser or skirt)
Measure around the area where you normally wear your trousers or skirts, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
4
Hips and seat
Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips and seat, keeping the tape level.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions about measuring yourself
How do I measure my bust, waist and length for a custom garment?
Use a flexible tape. For the bust, wrap it around the fullest part with the tape level. For the waist, measure the narrowest part, usually just above the belly button. For length, measure from the shoulder or natural waist down to your desired hem. Keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger, and measure over close-fitting clothing rather than bulky layers.
How do I measure my waist, hips, thighs and rise?
Measure the waist at the narrowest point, the hips around the widest part of your hips and seat, and the thigh around the fullest part of the upper leg. For the rise, sit down and measure from the front of your natural waist, down between your legs to the seat. Keep the tape level and snug throughout.
Where can I get my measurements taken?
Any local tailor or seamstress can take your measurements in a few minutes, and many fabric or bridal shops offer measuring too. You can also measure yourself at home with a flexible tape using this guide, or have a friend help with the back and shoulder measurements. Because we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, the fit is confirmed on your body regardless of who takes the first measurements.
What do I need to measure myself?
Just 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, and stand naturally with your weight even on both feet.
How tight should the measuring tape be?
Snug but not tight. The tape should sit flat against your body with just enough room to slip one finger underneath. Pulling it too tight gives measurements that are too small, and leaving it loose makes the garment baggy.
What if my measurements are not perfect?
That is exactly why we send a free test garment. Give us your best measurements, and we build a test version in a stand-in cloth to your numbers and ship it to you. You try it on, we adjust from there, and nothing is cut in your final fabric until the fit is confirmed.

Velvet Skinny Trousers
Women’s Velvet Skinny Trousers That Keep Their Shape
Velvet skinny trousers look sharp for the first hour. Then the pile flattens across the knees and seat, the knees start to bag, and pale crush marks show every time you stand up. That happens when a skinny cut is made for a standard size: the velvet is pulled tight in some places and loose in others, and the pile wears where the strain is.
These trousers are made to your measurements in a soft velvet with a slight stretch, so the leg is slim from hip to ankle without being strained anywhere. The cut is a mid-rise skinny trouser with a zip fly, belt loops, front pockets and two patch back pockets. Before we cut your velvet, we send you a free test pair to try on at home.

No Baggy Knees
Why Velvet Pants Bag at the Knee, and How We Stop It
Velvet is a woven cloth with a short, dense pile standing up from its surface. Where the trouser pulls tight, usually across the knees, thighs and seat, the pile is pressed flat and the cloth stretches a little each time you sit. Over a day, that shows as a bag at the knee and shiny patches where the light catches the flattened pile.
Cut to your measurements
We cut the thigh, knee and calf to your own measurements, with just enough ease to sit and walk without the velvet being pulled tight.
A slight stretch
The velvet has a little stretch, so it moves with you and recovers, instead of holding the shape of your knee.
Lined to the knee
The front of each leg is lined to just below the knee, which takes the strain when you sit. Lining can be removed, or extended to the hem, on request.
The free test pair is where this is set. You sit, stand and walk in it, and we adjust the ease at the knee and seat before your velvet is cut.
The Velvet
A Soft Stretch Velvet with a Short Pile
The cloth is a poly-cotton velvet with a slight stretch. The cotton gives it a soft, rich pile that reads as deep color; the polyester helps it hold its shape and color through wear and washing; the stretch lets a skinny leg move with you. The pile is short, so the trousers look sleek rather than plush, and sit well under a jacket or a long knit.
The Colors

These are close-up photos of the actual velvets. Pick one in the fabric selector above.

Black Velvet
The most versatile, from office to evening.
Black Crushed Velvet
Pressed in a random pattern so it catches the light. Crush marks barely show on it.

Green Velvet
A deep emerald green.
Light Green Velvet
A soft olive green.
Lavender Velvet
A light lilac for spring and day events.
How to Wear
How to Wear Red Velvet Trousers
| Evening and holidays | A black silk blouse or fine black knit and heeled ankle boots. Keep everything else plain so the velvet is the one texture that stands out. |
| Office | A cream or gray fine-knit sweater, a camel or navy blazer, and loafers or low heels. In burgundy, navy or black velvet this reads as smart work wear. |
| Weekend | A white shirt worn loose or a chunky knit, with flat boots or clean sneakers. |
Velvet is the statement. Pair it with smooth, matte fabrics like silk, fine knits and cotton, and keep other textures and patterns quiet.
Want the same tailored fit for daytime? Our formal pants for women are cut in wool and cashmere with a straight leg.
Velvet Care
Keeping the Pile Up
- Wash inside out, cold, on a gentle cycle, and hang to dry; or dry clean if you prefer.
- Never iron the velvet face. Steam from a short distance instead: it lifts the pile and removes crush marks from sitting.
- Brush lightly with a soft brush in the direction of the pile after wearing.
- Hang the trousers by the hem or waistband rather than folding them, so no crease is pressed into the pile.

Questions & Answers
Questions About These Velvet Skinny Trousers
Q. What are these velvet skinny trousers made of?
A. A poly-cotton velvet with a slight stretch and a short pile. The cotton gives the soft, deep color, the polyester helps it keep its shape and color, and the stretch lets a skinny leg move with you.
Q. Why do skinny velvet pants bag at the knees?
A. When a skinny leg is tight at the knee, the velvet stretches each time you sit and the pile is pressed flat. These are cut to your own knee and thigh measurements with a little ease, have a slight stretch that recovers, and are lined to the knee, so they keep their shape.
Q. How do I remove crush marks from velvet trousers?
A. Steam them from a short distance, then brush lightly in the direction of the pile. Never press an iron on the velvet face. Hanging the trousers by the hem overnight also lets the pile recover.
Q. Can I machine wash velvet trousers?
A. Yes. Turn them inside out, wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang them to dry, or dry clean them if you prefer. Do not tumble dry or iron the pile.
Q. Are these like women’s red velvet jeans or velvet skinny jeans?
A. They have the slim leg, belt loops and patch back pockets people like about velvet jeans, but they are tailored trousers: a flat front, a clean waistband and a hand-stitched hem, cut to your measurements.
Q. Can I have a straight leg instead of a skinny leg?
A. Yes. Write “straight leg” in the comment box on the measurement form and we will cut the leg straight from the knee. You can also ask for a higher rise.
Q. Are these velvet trousers lined?
A. The front of each leg is lined to just below the knee as standard. You can ask for them unlined, or fully lined to the hem, in the comment box on the measurement form.
Q. What do you wear with red velvet pants?
A. Keep the rest plain and smooth: a black silk blouse or fine black knit for evenings and holidays, a cream sweater and a navy blazer for the office, a loose white shirt for weekends. Black ankle boots, loafers or simple heels all work.
Q. Can I wear velvet trousers to work?
A. Yes, especially in black, navy, burgundy or maroon velvet with a fine knit or a blazer. The short pile looks sleek rather than plush, so it reads as smart rather than party wear.
Q. How much do these velvet skinny trousers cost?
A. They are $239 in any of the 11 velvets. The price includes a free cotton test pair that is yours to keep, so the fit is confirmed before your velvet is cut.
Q. How long does it take to receive my trousers, and do you ship internationally?
A. Your test pair takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. Once you confirm the fit, your final pair takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. Both ship worldwide with tracking, and if you need them by a date, order as early as you can.

Women’s Trouser Fit Guide

Tapered and close-fitting through the hips, thighs, and legs. Designed to contour the lower body without excess fabric.
Best for: A lean build or anyone who prefers a sleek, streamlined silhouette with a modern edge.
Standard Fit
Balanced proportions through the waist, hips, and legs. Offers gentle shaping without being tight, for a classic, all-purpose look.
Best for: An average build or those seeking versatile trousers that combine structure with ease of movement.
Relaxed Fit
Loosely tailored with extra room throughout the hips, thighs, and leg opening for maximum comfort.
Best for: Those who prioritize ease, freedom of movement, or need a more forgiving fit around the midsection and hips.
Women’s Trouser Fit Guide
How Women’s Trousers Should Fit
Trousers are where ready-to-wear forces the biggest compromise: a waist that fits means hips that pull, or hips that fit means a gaping waistband. Custom-made trousers remove that trade-off entirely. You choose the leg shape and the fit, we cut the waist, hips, rise, and length to your measurements, and a free test garment confirms it on you before your final cloth is cut. This guide covers the leg shapes, the fits, and where trousers should sit.
Step One
Choose your leg shape
Slim / Tapered
Fitted through the thigh and narrowing to the ankle, for a sleek, modern line that works cropped or full length.
Straight
A clean, even line from hip to hem, the most classic and versatile shape, flattering on almost everyone.
Bootcut / Flared
Fitted through the thigh then opening below the knee, which balances the hips and elongates the leg, especially with a heel.
Wide-leg / Relaxed
Roomy and fluid from the hip down, for an easy, contemporary silhouette with plenty of movement.
Step Two
The fit checkpoints
Waist
The waistband sits comfortably at your chosen height, snug without digging in, with no gap at the back when you sit. Because it is cut to your waist, you avoid the usual back-gape or muffin pinch.
Hips & thigh
The trousers skim your hips and thigh cleanly, with no pulling or horizontal strain lines. This is exactly where off-the-rack fails and custom-made tailoring wins, because the hip is cut independently of the waist.
Rise
The rise, how high the trouser sits from crotch to waistband, is cut to you, so a high-rise sits at the natural waist without pulling and a mid-rise sits just below. Tell us your preference.
Length & break
You choose the length: a full break resting on the shoe, a light break with a single soft fold, or a clean cropped ankle. Every hem is cut to your leg and your shoe height.
Every pair is made to your measurements, in the leg shape and fit you choose, with the waist, hip, and rise cut independently for a true fit. A free test garment confirms it before your final cloth is cut, and it is yours to keep.
Your Worries, Answered
The doubts most women have, and why you can relax
Trousers never fit my waist and my hips at the same time. Am I just an awkward shape?
You are not, ready-to-wear is the problem, not your body. Off-the-rack trousers are cut to one fixed waist-to-hip ratio, so if yours is different, either the waist gapes or the hips pull, no matter which size you buy. We cut your waist and your hip independently to your own measurements, so both fit at once, and the free test garment proves it on your body before the final pair is made. A great many of our customers have spent years thinking they were the problem; they were not.
My trousers always gape at the back waist. Will this fix it?
Yes, directly. Back-gape is the classic sign of a waist cut too big relative to your hips. Because we cut the waistband to your actual waist, it sits flat against your back with no gap, even when you sit down, and you confirm exactly that on the free test garment before we cut your final cloth.
I have never bought trousers I could not try on first. How do I know they will fit?
Because you do try them on first. We make a free test pair in a stand-in cloth to your measurements and post it to you. You put them on, sit down, walk, check the waist, rise, hips, and length, and send us notes and photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final fabric, so the finished trousers are a fit you have already approved.
I am between sizes and always end up altering everything. Will this be any different?
Completely, because there are no sizes to fall between. You send your measurements, we cut to them exactly, and the free test garment confirms the fit, so you receive trousers that are already right rather than a compromise you have to pay a tailor to fix afterwards.
I am nervous I will measure the waist, hips, or rise wrong.
You do not have to be exact. Our guide walks you through each measurement, a friend or a local tailor can help, and if you are unsure you can send your best numbers. The free test garment is there to catch anything slightly off, we see the fit on your body and adjust, so a first-try measurement is completely normal.
What if they arrive and something is still not right?
The final pair is cut to the exact fit you approved on the test garment, so surprises are rare by design. If a small tweak is ever needed, the finished trousers carry seam allowances at the waist and seat so a local tailor can fine-tune them, and you can always contact us and we will help make it right.
It feels like a lot for a pair of trousers made just for me. What is my safety net?
Nothing final is cut until you have approved the fit on the free test garment, so you are not gambling on a pair you have never seen on your body. And trousers that finally fit your waist and hips get worn constantly, so they tend to cost far less per wear than the ill-fitting pairs that never leave the wardrobe.
What if my weight changes later?
Your finished trousers are made with seam allowances, so a local tailor can take them in or let them out at the waist and seat within reason if your shape shifts. And we keep your measurements on record, so ordering another pair that fits is simple whenever you want one.
