Customer comments about remodelling, fit checks, and thoughtful reuse of existing garments.
The redesign reused the strongest parts of my original garment and made the limits of the fabric clear before I approved the work.
After inspecting the fabric and construction, the studio gave me a realistic completion date and then contacted me when the garment was ready to try on.
My finished garment was checked again at collection, and a small final adjustment was handled carefully without changing the agreed design.
