One of the most common questions we receive is: “How long does it take from consultation to delivery?”
The timeline depends on the type of tailoring you require, the complexity of the design, and the number of garments being made. Bespoke tailoring prioritises precision and craftsmanship over speed—but the result is always worth the wait.
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect when working with us.
Step 1: The Consultation (1–2 Hours)
Your tailored wardrobe journey begins with a detailed consultation, where we explore your style preferences and design garments that reflect your personality and lifestyle.
✔️ What Happens: We discuss fabrics, colours, design details, and fit preferences. Your precise measurements are taken to ensure a flawless fit.
⏳ Timeline: This one-time appointment lasts between 1–2 hours, depending on the number of garments and their complexity.
Step 2: Pattern Creation & Fabric Cutting (2–4 Weeks)
Once we’ve finalised your design, the craftsmanship begins.
✔️ What Happens: Your measurements are transformed into a unique pattern, and your chosen fabric is carefully cut to align perfectly with the design. This step is crucial in achieving the right fit.
⏳ Timeline: Typically takes 2–4 weeks, depending on the intricacy of the garment and fabric availability.
Step 3: First Fitting (4–6 Weeks After Consultation)
This is where your bespoke garment starts to take shape.
✔️ What Happens: You’ll try on a partially constructed version of your garment, allowing us to refine the fit, adjust proportions, and make necessary modifications.
⏳ Timeline: This fitting usually takes place 4–6 weeks after your initial consultation.
Step 4: Adjustments & Second Fitting (2–3 Weeks After First Fitting)
After gathering feedback from your first fitting, we make further refinements to perfect the garment.
✔️ What Happens: Your piece is now near completion. We check the finer details, such as sleeve length, button placement, and overall comfort.
⏳ Timeline: Expect this fitting 2–3 weeks after your first fitting.
Step 5: Final Delivery (6–10 Weeks Total)
The final step is the most rewarding—receiving your fully tailored masterpiece.
✔️ What Happens: Your garment is meticulously pressed, inspected, and prepared for delivery. The result? A piece that fits like a second skin and elevates your personal style.
⏳ Timeline: The complete process, from consultation to delivery, typically takes 6–10 weeks.
