Questions people ask
How far in advance should I book?
Two weeks before you need to wear it. The make is fourteen days from the measuring visit, with one fitting at day eight.
Where does the fitting happen?
At your home or office in Gurugram. There is no shop and no showroom to visit.
Can I reuse the pattern for something else?
Yes. Eighteen measurements are taken once and kept on file, so a second commission needs no second visit.
What if I am not sure what the dress code means?
Tell us the invitation and the venue. Half of what a cutter does at the table is talk you out of the wrong garment.
What does it cost to start?
Nothing to book. Fifty per cent is due at order and the balance on delivery.
