Questions that come up often
Can you match a specific color or family palette?
Often, yes. Fabric availability varies, but we can narrow options that fit the palette and photograph well.
Do you make multiple garments for a group?
The studio focuses on limited, high-attention projects. Small group work may be possible depending on schedule and complexity.
Can I bring my own fabric?
Sometimes. We’ll confirm whether it’s suitable for the design and expected wear. Some fabrics require specific support structures to behave well.
