Record the agreed design, fabrics, finish, price, fittings and collection date as well as the measurements.
Schedule fittings in stages, leaving time to correct the structure before final embellishment and collection.
A sample toile is useful when the cut or fit needs testing before expensive or irreplaceable fabric is cut.
A fit correction addresses the agreed garment's sizing or movement; a design change alters what was originally approved.
Agree exactly what may be cut, removed or permanently changed before a tailor works on a sentimental textile.
Take measurements and attend key fittings wearing the underlayers intended for the finished outfit.
Before collection, inspect the complete outfit for agreed details, secure construction, finish and comfortable movement.
Document the difference from the approved sample and ask the seller for a specific correction or proposed remedy.
Ask for a firm completion checkpoint and prepare a usable fallback outfit rather than relying on repeated vague assurances.
Use the maker's measurement method, units and labelled diagrams, then confirm unclear readings before production.
The wearer or the person explicitly authorised by them should approve design changes; collection alone does not imply that authority.
Photograph the complete outfit, important finishes and any existing defects at the point of handover.
