Seams You Need custom sewing offers various fit silhouettes for the body of the garment and the elements(sleeves, collar/lapel, pocket/accessories, neckline/hemline) to complete your personal design. We give you the chance to create something for yourself from the fabric you select, to the fit you deserve. The process will require a commitment of time, energy, study and duty to yourself. You will be expected to team-up with Seams You Need to gather all the components needed for the end product.
The Measurement Chart
It is a fact that you cannot have a custom garment without your body being fitted by a professional tailor. We begin with downloading the measurement charts. The charts should be printed out and taken to a tailor to have them filled out. It is suggested that you contact a tailor and set an appointment to have the chart filled out, informing them that it can take up to forty minutes to complete. Also inquire whether the tailor would be able to custom fit your mock garment. Login to your account and fill-in the measurement chart.
Shopping for fabric
Today there are fabric websites that offer every type of fabric you could possibly want. Choosing your own fabric enables you to define your style. We offer information regarding fabric, if you are not familiar with the properties of your selection. It is recommended that you always order a swatch.
The Appointment
The personal nature of creating a garment makes it necessary to give it the time and attention it requires.. You must have a completed measurement chart as well as, having fabric considerations available and your design created, before you can set an appointment. The information is needed to determine yardage for the fabric purchase that will be used to construct your design.
The Purchase of Your Design
When you have considered the information that was discussed during the appointment you may be ready to purchase your design. Your silhouette and its elements will be calculated into a final price, you will be expected to pay a deposit of half the total of the garment. Once the payment is received we will create a mock garment of your design based on your measurements. The garment will be mailed to you so that you can take it back to the tailor to have it custom fit to your body. You are required to mail the mock garment back to Seams You Need in the pre-addressed envelope provided. The mock garment will be used to create a paper pattern which will be cut out in the fabric you provide.
We will send you a photo of your completed garment, at which time you are expected to pay the balance of your account. If we do not receive payment within 14 days, your garment will go on the Gallery portion on our site for sale at the full price of the garment.
