The Bespoke Design & Creation Process
- During your consultation, fashion designer and tailor Maire Forkin will assess your shape and guide you towards the most flattering silhouette for your figure. By trying on sample garments in our Dublin studio, you can explore different styles and refine details such as necklines, sleeves, and hemlines.
- Once your design is finalised, a bespoke pattern is created to your exact measurements, ensuring an exceptional fit and comfort.
- You will then choose from our exclusive collection of luxury fabrics, colours, and finishing details. Maire will personally guide you through each selection to create a design that reflects your individual style and the significance of your occasion.
- Your garment is expertly handcrafted using premium fabrics sourced from leading mills in France and Italy, renowned for their quality, beautiful drape, and luxurious feel.
- A fitting appointment allows for any final adjustments, ensuring your outfit fits perfectly and feels effortless to wear.
- The result is a beautifully tailored, one-of-a-kind garment that combines timeless elegance, expert craftsmanship, and confidence.
