The Dream Couture Process
The  process involves three key elements:
custom,
couture and clothing.
Custom
gets to the heart of what is about. The custom part of
the process involves getting the exact design and the exact fit
that the client wants. The client consults directly with Robyn,
looking together at fabric swatches, colors, photos and other
inspirations with Robyn interpreting and sketching until the
client sees the design that she wants. The details of construction
are discussed as well.
The exact fit is achieved by first taking
measurments. We can use a pre-existing garment that can be copied
for fit. This is not necessary, though. Using a dress form and
your mesaurements, Robyn will drape and create a "mock"
garment or muslin to try on.
Perfect fit can only be achieved through
fittings. If you cannot come to Robyn's Studio for your fittings,
muslins will be sent to you and then you'll go to a professional
tailor or dressmaker for them to fit you and mark the muslins
to be then returned to the studio.
Couture
refers to the level of quality that we provide. From the initial
sketch
and specialized details, to the pattern, fit and expert construction,
gives
the client the ultimate that can be achieved in a garment, a
marriage of superb fit and design.
Clothing:
We offer the creation of any type of clothing style, in any fabric
or leather, for women and men. Bring your imagination. The possibilities
are unlimited.
 The
steps of the
experience, from idea to finished garment:
- Client has initial idea.
- Consultation with Robyn. Provide magazine
or other pictures and inspirations. Robyn can also suggest ideas
for the clients concept. Robyn will sketch until you see exactly
what you want.
- Discuss fabrics, take measurements and
Robyn will then provide a cost estimate.
- Fittings, first in muslin then in the
final fabric as needed.
- Finally, your garment will be made exactly
as you want by
with a fit that can only be achieved through the custom process.
