Services

Made for you,fitted on you.

Every commission begins with a private fitting in the atelier. From there, each piece follows its own path and its own timeline.

Every commission

How every piece is made.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    We sit down together in the atelier. Bring the dress, a sketch or a photograph, and we talk through the day, the fabric, the fit and the time you have.

  2. 02

    Fitting

    Yolanda measures and pins the garment on you, so every change is marked on your body and never guessed.

  3. 03

    Made by hand

    The work is done in the atelier by Yolanda herself. Nothing is sent out, and nothing is rushed.

  4. 04

    Final fitting

    You try it on once more. The last touches are made, and the piece is pressed and ready for your day.

Your garment never leaves the atelier. Between fittings it is kept pressed, covered and hung, handled by Yolanda alone, and it goes home only with you.

What to bring to your fitting

A complete first fitting means fewer return visits.
