Quick answer: Order on your first day and allow 2–3 fittings. Bring a photo or a garment to copy. Prices vary hugely with fabric, so ask for wool or silk content in writing. Pay a deposit and the balance only when you’re happy.

How it works

  1. Choose a design (photo, sample or catalogue) and fabric.
