Skirts
With skirts, the difference is in the waistband, pleats and sweep. From crisp pencil skirts to fluid bias-cut satin skirts, we make them all. Send a sketch, photo or reference garment, and we confirm each detail with you.

- 01
Waistband
Waistband width, whether to add belt loops and whether elastic is used decide both comfort and appearance. When quoting, we ask whether you want the waistband as a visible feature or kept clean and discreet.
- 02
Pleats and darts
Pleat width on a pleated skirt, dart intake on an A-line skirt, and gather volume on a tiered skirt determine how the skirt hangs. All of these need to be settled in the measurements.
- 03
Zips and openings
Whether an invisible zip goes at the side seam or centre back, and how much a wrap skirt overlaps, affects ease of wearing. We suggest an option for your style.
- 04
Length and hem
Where skirt length is measured from and how the hem is finished shape the proportions. We check them with you point by point on the sample.
