Custom dresses and women's clothing, made from scratch.

Sometimes the dress you have in mind doesn't exist, or nothing on the rack fits the way it should. We can make it for you, starting from your measurements.

What we do

What we do

Nadia and her team make women's clothing from scratch in our Orangevale studio: a pattern made for your measurements, the fabric you choose, and fittings along the way so it's right on you before it's finished.

We start with a conversation about what you want and how you'll wear it. If altering something you already own would get you there, we'll tell you.

We're at 8889 Greenback Ln in Orangevale, inside Sacramento County, with parking right outside. Come by and we'll talk it through.

  • Made for your measurements

    The pattern starts from you, not from a standard size.

  • Your choice of fabric

    We help you pick a fabric that suits the piece and how you'll wear it.

  • Fitted as it's made

    You try it on along the way, so it fits before it's finished.

How it works

We talk through what you want, take your measurements, and help you choose a fabric. From there we make a pattern and cut the piece.

You come back for fittings as it comes together, so we can adjust it on you. When it fits, we finish it.
