Garment Construction and Refinement
Custom sewing, alterations, and repair services. Methodical approach to garment construction and fit adjustment.
Atelier Philosophy
Each garment is examined individually. Construction methods are selected based on fabric properties, intended use, and existing structure. Alterations follow the original construction where possible, preserving the garment's integrity.
Materials are chosen for durability and compatibility. Thread weight, needle type, and stitch length are matched to fabric characteristics. The process is documented, and clients are informed of the approach before work begins.
