The Atelier
Every commission begins with a conversation. We design entirely around you.
Begin a CommissionNine stages of craft
After the consultation, the making begins. Every stage is documented and shared with you.
- 01
Sketching & Concept
Your gown is drawn from the conversation: the occasion, the silhouette, how you want to feel in it. You see the sketches before any cloth is cut.
- 02
Fabric Sourcing
Lace, silk, crepe and beads are chosen for this commission alone.
- 03
Design Approval
The design, the fabric and the embellishment are set down, and nothing is cut until you approve them.
- 04
Tailoring
Cut and constructed in our Lagos atelier, to your measurements and no one else's.
- 05
First Fitting
You try the structure before it is finished, so the silhouette is right from the inside out.
- 06
Alterations
Every note from the fitting is worked back into the gown.
- 07
Beading & Finishing
Beads, stones and embroidery are applied by hand, one at a time.
- 08
Final Fitting
A last fitting with everything in place, to confirm it is exactly right.
- 09
Delivery
Pressed, packed and delivered to you, or ready for you to collect.
