MADE-TO-MEASURE

In-depth womenswear consultations at Casely-Hayford offer more than a series of options – We pride ourselves on providing expert guidance in terms of styling, custom fit and cloth to best perfectly suit each client’s needs, with a focus on delivering a warm and insightful service. A more streamlined process in comparison to our women’s Bespoke offering, the Casely-Hayford women’s Made-To-Measure suit service at our London Chiltern Street store begins with our signature House block and adapts the garment to suit each client’s specifications taking into account posture, balance and fit.

 Produced by machine rather than hand using fabrics sourced exclusively from the UK, Italy or Japan, our made to measure suits are a more accessible entry into the world of personal tailoring than Bespoke.  Casely-Hayford stands for Innovation through Tradition, each custom suit combines laser cut precision with age old traditions. We specialise in perfectly tailored custom women’s bridal wedding suits, occasion wear, and business suits. Unlike many other Bespoke tailors, we also uniquely offer more directional fashion custom suiting for those that so require it combining nuances from our fashion shows with custom detailing.

1. CONSULTATION

We begin the process by understanding your needs and individual style, guiding you through any uncertainties. Our intention is always to reflect your characteristics in every aspect of the cut and custom design of your suit. After establishing how and when your suit will we be worn, deciding the style elements soon follows – we make sure to guide you through each and every step as you select your fabric, trims, and styling.

An in-depth set of measurements are taken, and body figurations and posture considered as we work to accentuate your best features and reflect your individual look. Our 3000 cloths are exclusively hand selected from the finest mills from the UK, Italy and Japan.

Details such as lapel style, shoulder construction down to stitch count can be determined as this stage. This generally takes one hour.

 

2. CUTTING & SEWING

Once the final measurements have been taken and details finalised, we begin the cutting process.

Your measures, posture and figuration move from notebook to digital pattern as the Casely-Hayford pattern cutting team create a template to cut your fabric. Your made to measure suit originates from our signature house pattern (also known as a block) and is then customised and sculpted around your personal measurements and preference.

Once your chosen fabric is cut with laser cut precision, the suit begins to take on a three-dimensional shape as it is crafted together

3. FITTINGS

Your made to measure suit is then crafted to a near finished state. At this stage you return to the store and we begin to chalk, pin, and adjust the garment on you until the fit is perfect. Every adjustment is then updated on your digital pattern, ready for your next commission.

4. FINISHED GARMENT

After a final press, your finished custom-made garment is now ready for a final fitting to carefully check the fit, silhouette and ensure everything is perfect before being ready to take to its new home.

5. TIMINGS

 The simplicity of Made-To-Measure means that from start to finish the construction of a women’s personally tailored Casely-Hayford suit is swifter than our hand-finished offering and generally take 7-8 weeks. 

Our women’s Made-to-Measure service is available from our London Chiltern Street store.  Book your initial consultation today to begin the experience.
