Standard pieces dispatch in 4 weeks. Custom measurement or proportion adjustments require 4 to 6 weeks in production.
Delivery timing runs separately once your piece is handed to the courier.
How long will my order take?
Made to order
Cut for you, not for a rail.
Nothing exists until it is chosen.
Fashion typically relies on guesswork: overproducing garments,
forecasting demand, and discounting what remains.
We reject the excess.
Every garment in our collection is cut individually upon order,
eliminating waste while maintaining absolute control over
tailoring standards and fabric integrity.
This is not a delay. It is a discipline.
Refer to our sizing guide to select your standard UK size, 6 through 14, with international conversions listed.
If you require a custom fit, you may submit your precise body measurements at checkout.
We accommodate adjustments across shoulder, bust, waist, hip, and total drop.
Note: any dimensional requests submitted after checkout remain subject to the 24-hour amendment window.
Standard lead time: 4 weeks from
order confirmation to final creation.
Custom specifications: 4 to 6 weeks
for custom hemlines, sleeve modifications,
or measurements outside our standard size chart.
Transit: Lead times refer strictly
to in-house production. Once your garment
passes final quality control, tracked dispatch
is issued immediately via courier.

FAQs
Yes, within 24 hours of placement. After this window, fabric cutting begins and adjustments can no longer be applied.

Specify your requirements at checkout within the 24-hour window.

Standard made-to-order garments can be exchanged for an alternate size or returned.

What if the fit isn't right upon arrival?
Mass production prioritises speed over integrity. Because your piece is cut and tailored individually, it requires dedicated time in the studio.
Precision cannot be rushed.
Why does made to order take longer than buying off the rack?
