Each pattern piece is placed on the cloth by hand to minimise fabric wastage as well as check the fabric for irregularities, adding another stage of quality control. Unlike bulk cutting we use manual rotary blades to ensure precision. Every millimetre counts and if just one piece is cut off grain it will effect the drape of the entire garment.
Preparing the pieces for sewing. Every element that goes into a tailored garment has been well considered so that it is fit for purpose. At this stage of construction we “piece fuse” parts of the cut elements where they need to be strengthened for durability. All of the prepped fabric pieces are then bundled together and matched with threads, trims and buttons ready for sewing.
Our tailors then begin sewing the garments, starting with the smaller elements. It is crucial that the garments are pressed during their construction to ensure accuracy.
