Creating a custom garment is a highly personalized process, which is why it’s impossible to price each project the same. The final cost depends on several factors: the type and quantity of fabric required, the complexity and duration of the labor involved, the inclusion of hand-stitching or intricate embellishments, the urgency of the completion date, the number of fittings necessary, and the time needed to draft and print your custom pattern. Each of these elements can vary significantly from project to project. Therefore, a non-refundable deposit is required after completing the consultation process. This deposit covers the initial time and labor for sourcing materials and drafting your pattern. Following the completion of the first garment sample, a fitting will be scheduled to make any necessary adjustments, and the final payment will be due.
