BESPOKE DESIGN SERVICE

The normal time frame for having an outfit made is 8-10 weeks, during busy periods this may extend to 12-14 weeks. Enabling enough time to complete fittings to gain that couture finish.

During your first consultation with Claire, it is a good idea to bring with you, cuttings from magazines or items that you find inspirational – this forms a great foundation upon which to base the design.

A quote will be provided and upon acceptance a 50% deposit is payable.

Your measurements will be taken and from these, the design will then be made in the form of a toilé (cotton mock-up of the garment). This will enable you to view the design in its entirety and for Claire to fit this to your body for that enviable fit that the Claire Mischevani label is renowned for!  Any alterations to the fit and design will be completed during this appointment.

On your next visit, the garment is made in the fabric of your choice and it is fitted for the second time. Sometimes a fabric will act slightly different to that of the toile and may need further alteration.

Once completed, arrangements are then made for the collection of your outfit and the remaining balance is payable.

If like most ladies, you have a hectic schedule – Claire also offers out of hour’s appointments where necessary.
