About the work

A closer look.

One finished look, made for one thing you keep. WHO THIS IS FOR: a dress your grandmother wore, a coat that still smells like someone, a costume your kid refuses to take off, a character you have carried for years and cannot picture properly, a thing of your own you want to see finished. WHAT YOU SEND: one thing, and one true detail about it. The colour it actually was. The way it sat on them. The stain nobody fixed. The one button that isn't original. A photo is welcome, but a photo alone is not the brief. WHAT YOU GET: one high-resolution image of the garment as a worn look: fabric, cut, how it closes, where the seams sit, what it looks like on a body in real light. Delivered as an image file within four days. One revision included. HOW I WORK: I make it and I show you the whole finished thing, not a sketch and not a stock look with a filter on it. I sew for real, so I know a collar from a cuff, and sometimes I leave the seams on the outside on purpose, because that is the truth of the piece. If it is wrong in a way I cannot fix, I will say so instead of dressing up a guess. Your piece stays yours. I don't repost it or use it as a sample unless you tell me I can.
