Create a bespoke design
The Process
Collaborate with Emily Westenberger to create your own custom garment. We'll be there to help you realize your idea from sketchbook to city streets.
Step 1
You Dream It
To start the process of creating your custom garment(s), please purchase the initial 30 minute consultation with Emily. If you choose to move forward with a custom design, the consultation fee of $30 will go towards the cost of your garment(s). You will discuss details like budget, style, and fabric during the consultation. She can also walk you through taking your measurements via video call.
After the call, Emily will put together a creative direction, including fabric and design inspiration for your approval.
Step 2
Emily Makes It
Once you send a 30% deposit of your quoted price, Emily will get to work sending sketches and sourcing fabrics based on the creative direction.
Next, she'll send you fabrics and trims for your approval. After you’ve picked your favorites, the second 30% deposit is due.
Emily will then create a cotton sample of your approved style for you to see and try on before she starts on the final piece. Depending on the fit, she will send you 1-4 samples, perfecting the fit with each iteration.
Once your fabric and trims are in the studio and the style is finalized, Emily will check in for your final approval before cutting and sewing the final garment. The last 30% payment is due before she ships the finished product to you.
She’ll also share some photos of the final design before it’s on its way to you!
Step 3
You Treasure It For Years to Come
When your style is complete, Emily will send it back to you via USPS mail. Please note: turnaround time varies, but styles are typically made and sent back within 1-2 months of receiving your request.
