We build garments that are difficult to build.
Structured, embellished and hand-finished womenswear, produced in low to medium volume against a sealed sample and a written specification.
Cutting
Lay planning and marker efficiency reviewed per fabric. Directional, napped, striped, checked and one-way prints handled as a cutting decision, not a sewing problem.
Assembly
Sequence set per style so that structured panels, linings and support layers go together in the right order and the garment is not fought into shape at the end.
Internal structure
Boning channels, waist stays, underlinings, interlinings and hem weights chosen to hold the intended silhouette without printing through.
Pressing & shaping
Heat, pressure, time and pressing aids set per cloth. Shape is pressed in progressively during assembly, not corrected at the end.
Inline QC
Checks at defined points in the line — not only at the end — so a fault is caught in the first units instead of the last.
Finishing & pack
Hand finishing, thread trimming, final press, labelling, tagging and packing to your specification.
The hard part of manufacturing is not the first one. It is the two hundredth.
Sealed sample
One approved sample becomes the physical standard. Every later unit is judged against it, not against a photograph or a memory of a fitting.
Measurement specification
Every measurement point with a tolerance, per size. Without stated tolerances, “correct” is an opinion.
Bulk fabric approval
Production cloth checked against the sample cloth for hand, weight, shade and width before cutting. Shade banding handled at cutting, not discovered at packing.
Size set & grading
Graded pattern verified in cloth across the size set before bulk. Grading errors are cheap to fix here and expensive to fix later.
Inline control
Defined checkpoints in the line with recorded results, so a drift is corrected within a bundle rather than across an order.
Final inspection
Inspection against an agreed standard and level, reported to you before the goods are released.
If a technique is not listed, ask. The honest answer is either yes with a sample to prove it, or no with a reason.
Lead time on complex product is set by three things: how long material takes to arrive, how many fitting rounds the garment needs, and how much hand work sits in each unit. We plan backwards from your delivery date and tell you which of the three is your critical path.
- Critical path
- Identified per order at costing, before you commit
- Material lead time
- Confirmed with the supplier and built into the plan, not assumed
- Fitting rounds
- Agreed up front — each round is a real date in the schedule
- Hand work
- Costed in minutes per unit, so volume changes are re-planned honestly
- Capacity
- Booked per order; we do not overcommit a line to win a quotation
- Reporting
- Status against the plan at agreed intervals during production
Specific lead times and capacity figures are quoted per project, against your actual style, material and quantity.

If your product is already approved, we can move straight to costing, planning and production.
