Create a Custom Garment - Seams You Need Custom Sewing

Create a Women's Garment

Step 1

Download and print the three page measurement chart.

Step 2

Find a tailor to take your measurements and fill-in the chart. Record the measurements on the website. Wear your best foundation garments. A pair of running pants will work best for bottom measurements.

Step 3

A muslin mock-up garment of your design will be made from the measurements you submit. Find a professional tailor and set an appointment to have it custom fit to your body. Speak with your tailor about the cost of the fitting. Ship the garment in the packaging provided to:

SeamsYouNeed…Custom Sewing
1400 N. Halsted
Chicago, Illinois
60642-2618.

A paper pattern will be made from the fitted garment.

Step 4

We recommend that you shop for the type of fabric you want your creation made from before your appointment. This will enable us to give you guidance on which fabric is most suitable for your design, as well as being able to calculate the yardage you’ll need. We recommend that you always get swatches of the fabrics you are considering for the garment.

Step 5

Once you make a decision to purchase the fabric, be sure that you side/mark the purchase with your name and customer number, this will assure the correct fabric is used for your design. Ship to:

SeamsYouNeed...Custom Sewing
1400 N. Halsted
Chicago, Illinois 60642-2618

Step 6

You will receive a notification when we receive your fabric, it will detail yardages and a screen shot of the fabric for your verification. We will cut your garment once we have your confirmation the fabric is what you purchased.

Step 7

If you decide to purchase your design at the end of the appointment, you will be
redirected to the page where you assembled the design and deposit half of the total.

Step 8

Once completed a picture of your finished garment will be sent to you. We will ship the
garment when we receive your final payment. If payment is not made within two weeks of the
finished garment notification, the garment will go on sale in the gallery portion of the site at the
full price of the garment.
