1. Inquiry | 1–2 days
Submit a commission inquiry. I’ll respond within 1–2 business days to discuss your project and next steps.

2. Consultation & Measurements
We’ll meet in person or via Zoom to discuss your project, take measurements, and establish your design goals.

3. Initial Concepts | ~2 days
You’ll receive 3 rough design concepts to review. You’ll have the opportunity to request edits and changes.

4. Final Design & Quote
After revisions, I’ll send 3 finalized designs for you to choose from. Once you select your design, you’ll receive a price estimate and commission contract.

5. First Mockup & Fitting | 2–3 weeks
Once the contract is signed and you’re ready to proceed, I’ll begin the first mockup. Your first fitting will take place approximately 2–3 weeks later, either in person or via Zoom.
I prefer in-person house calls when possible. Clients located 40+ miles away will typically meet with me via Zoom.

6. Second Fitting & Adjustments
After the first fitting, I’ll make the necessary adjustments to the mockup and conduct a second fitting. Mockups are constructed using muslin or another non-fashion fabric.

7. Final Construction | ~1 month
Once all fittings and adjustments are finalized, I’ll begin construction of the final garment. You’ll receive photographic proof of the completed piece before delivery.

8. Final Payment & Delivery
The remaining ⅔ of the total payment is due before the finished garment is shipped or delivered.

My labor rate is $15/hour. Most commissions require approximately 25–50 hours of labor, resulting in an estimated $375–$750 in labor costs.

In addition to labor, clients are responsible for the cost of fashion fabric and construction materials, which typically range from $50–$250, depending on the garment and materials selected.

Estimated total: $425–$1,000+
Final pricing varies depending on the complexity of the design, materials, and construction time.
