Service: Bespoke
Clients who can visit our Boutique Plaza Damas and take advantage of our bespoke service, will be impressed by the level of support and advice offered by our Designer Amir Luqman Othman, from the first consultation through to the final fitting.
The Process
On your first visit, you will be able to thoroughly discuss your requirements with a designer who will also detail out the services amirluqman can offer. Your initial consultation would be free of charge and you should expect this to take anything up to one (1) hour to complete. We will produce proposal of design sketches of your dream dress from the information you supply and e-mail them to you. If you decide to choose an amirluqman dress, you will be given a fixed price for the order. Please be sure to check what is and is not included in the price.
Once the design has been finalised, the fabric chosen, and embellishment defined, you may visit us again to have your measurements taken. This however, may have already been done during your initial consultation.
The next stage of the bespoke process will involve us making a pattern to your own measurements. Once this has been done, the creation of your dress begin. This may take several weeks or months of elapsed time, during which you will be asked to visit for a number of fittings. The normal is two or three, however this cannot be guaranteed as each dress is unique and may have it's own idiosyncrasies.
Finally, when your dress is ready for collection you will visit for your 'final fitting'. However, on occasions we will require to make slight alterations in order that the dress is a perfect fit. This may therefore result in yet another visit before the dress is ready for collection.
Timing
Initial consultation / ordering. We suggest that you consider contacting us no later than two (2) months before your event. However, this can change depending on the time of year, therefore you should always be prepared to contact us as early as possible.
Measurements. We would prefer to take your measurements no more than two (2) months before the event to reduce the effect of any weight gain/loss.
Fittings. Depending on the number of fittings required, these would start about one (1) month after your ordering.
Final fitting. In a perfect world this would take place two (2) weeks before your event. However this can vary greatly due to your own circumstances.
