ATELIER
Our expert team of tailors provide a well rounded skill set of bespoke design and construction, capable of creating anything from a custom suit to a stunning special event gown. We start from a sketch and make everything by hand in our workshop in Darien. In addition to our custom orders, our team also offers a variety of tailoring services: including but not limited to: repairs, alterations, restorations, and customized accessories.

Reviving the almost extinct Custom Dress Making Trade
We are the only female run and owned tailors in Connecticut who are truly bespoke, as our 100% hand-tailored pieces are skillfully crafted for the most sophisticated women right in our Atelier in Darien CT, with our own hands.
Bespoke tailors mainly cater to men, leaving women who want to dress well often at a loss about where to get a well-cut shirt, suit, or dress.
The custom dressmaking trade is practically extinct. Even the most stylish and affluent women are prepared to wear the seemingly only choice of ready-to-wear, mass produced clothing.
They are left desperately hoping the piece will fit both the bust and the waist, or wishing it came with sleeves, or maybe in a different color/pattern.
