please
e-mail or post us a sketch and we will respond with comments and possibly further
questions.
Perhaps you have seen your DREAM Outfit on the Red Carpet
or on the cover off your favorite magazine ....
in which case scanned photos or magazine cuttings would be useful.
However we will NOT COPY.
It just helps us understand you and what you like.
Puts us on the same wavelength so to speak, before we begin.
Include thoughts on fabric , pockets , buttons , fit , shoulder
pads , bra cups etc: actually any information you think may be
helpful.
The
pattern I make for you takes 3-5 hours because it is bespoke and custom made to your
unique measurements.

Not really. Custom made things take time, even
patterns.
If you were on a tight budget, buying from our ready to
wear collection would be the way to go.
There is a slight chance should you buy via the
internet ,
that your item may need to be
slightly adjusted by an alterations person in your own area.
So the
price I quote Internet clients is generally around 15% lower than what I charge clients in
my area who come in person.
Yes, we do.
The price quote still depends on the details of the style.
Please remember children's clothes can be just as time-consuming as
adults.

How
should I care for my Artwear pieces
To fully enjoy your
new Artwear products, make sure you read the item's label and follow the
care instructions.
Here are a few more tips for keeping your items looking
their very best:
For Dark Denim : Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to
the water when you wash your jeans the very first time.
This helps to set
the dark dye in the fabric.
Always wash denim inside out, zipper up, to
prevent excess wear and tear and delay fading.
For Ribbed Knits: To maintain an item's shape, wash it in cold
water and dry flat.
For Silk Screened Items or items with Rhinestones or
Glitter :
Wash items inside out, and lay flat to dry
or dry using cool air.
Use fabric softener to keep the items soft.
Iron inside out when possible. ( or cover first with a cloth )
Always
cover painted or decorated areas with a cloth before using a cool iron.

Often my
models are my friends.
Anything looks good on a Super Model.
What really
matters is how it works on a normal woman with curves.
If you have a piece of our Artwear ..... then why not e
mail us a photo of you wearing it and you never know you may be proudly displayed in our
Portfolio Online.
( Be the envy of all your friends )
This also applies to Jewelry & Accessories providing the photograph is
clear enough.

Your
Questions Answered
You wrote:
" Do you sell any thing for less than £100
? "
Hello Paul.
Yes certainly many Artwear items can be made for under £100
Some of our Ready to Wear items sell for as low as £35
However Couture - Bespoke items are custom made to the clients exact
specifications.
Several fittings and a great deal of time are involved.
Firstly we have to Sketch/Draw/Design the item onto paper for clients
approval.
Then take accurate body measurements from which a paper pattern is
drafted.
This is then made up in calico.
At the next fitting final alterations may be necessary for a glove like
fit.
Then the pattern is altered accordingly.
All this before we even begin to cut or sew the final piece.
Many thanks for your question.
Enjoy your day.
