With Stewart Christie & Co’s ladies department about to have its own space on Queen Street, the idea of having a tailored garment is exciting but also perhaps a little daunting. Each commission will be a uniquely created garment with any number of style details.
With a multitude of options, the garment always starts with the cloth which will reflect both its purpose and the personality of the wearer. All our fabrics are available from fine worsteds to robust tweeds, crisp linens to sumptuous velvets. The possibilities are endless.
After the cloth and lining choices, the styling and fit of the garment are considered. This will be based upon the client’s requirements and proportions. This process is so precious to us, using our experience and your individual taste, the creations are completely unique.
Tara had chosen a soft cashmere wool blended flannel in a subtle dark midnight herringbone for her jacket, finished with a satin lining. Sometimes the simplest styling can give the most dramatic effects. We are so pleased to show you this process through photography.
Using our knowledge of how cloth drapes over the body, we shape and fit to give the most flattering silhouettes. Pinning and chalking shows where garments need to have shape added, to achieve the most precise fit. From made-to-measure, to a final bespoke finish.
Appointments are always required to ensure we can prepare for your requirements ahead of time. It also means we can spend an uninterrupted time with you to create the perfect tailored piece. We are always available for appointments, so just call the store to book.
"A truly magical and unforgettable day. Vixy, Dan and the team are so welcoming and knowledgable, immediately making you feel at ease in the sea of fabric choices. The finished product is something to be cherished for a lifetime and the experience
to be remembered forever.."
