My Work Process
Once the basic design of the garment or outfit is agreed and measurements are taken, I will draft a pattern and construct a toile (or dummy) of the garment in calico or some other inexpensive fabric which replicates the characteristics of the desired cloth.
This is done so that you, the customer, get an idea of how the garment will look and I can ensure a perfect fit. It is at this stage that details like hem length/neckline/sleeve length/ etc… can be examined and changed/adjusted, if required.
