The best part-
-
1. virtual coffee date
Let’s talk the clothing of your dreams! Clients will start with a sketch, tech drawing and/or mood board of their unique styles. I’ll ask technical questions and offer advice on the best finishes for manufacturing.
-
2. Welcome, Friend!
You’ll receive an estimate of your signature styles. Your estimate will outline a timeline, price range and breakdown of how long each style will take. Once accepted, you’ll receive contracts and a welcome packet. I charge a simple hourly rate and use HoneyBook for an easy, hassle-free way to pay.

3. Toiles & live models
Depending on the style, I will drape or draft your preliminary patterns in the best sample size possible, according to your size range. Sample patterns will be stitched into a toile (prototype) and fit onto a live model. For clients out of state, I use a photography camera for this live-fitting zoom call, so fit can be assessed by clients in fine detail. Pattern amendments will be made, as necessary, for flawless fit.
-
4. Grading
After the base patterns are complete, these patterns will be sent to the grader. I work with highly skilled graders with over 20+ years of experience, so every pattern in your size range fits like a dream.

5. Sampling & Tech Packs
A sample is made in final fabrication, professionally stitched and ready for your collection photography and production sample. A technical pack is created for worry-free manufacturing.
