On your frame
- Broad / muscular — Soft cloth, deep armholes, and keep the placket embroidery narrow.
- Tall and lean — Keep the inner tunic long so the robe reads deliberate rather than borrowed.
- Compact — Hem the outer just below the knee and keep one tone from collar to shoe.
- Fuller figure — Straight tunic, side slits, and let the robe hang open at the front.
What to do next
01 — The introduction
If this is the shape you want, tell me the occasion and date and I will point you at the right house for it.
Tell me the occasion, the date and your budget bracket. Within 24 hours you get back: two or three houses I would actually approach and why those and not others, the alterations to insist on for your build, a realistic timeline for your date, and a short written brief you can hand to the tailor at the first fitting.
- No fee, no commission, nothing sold here.
- If nobody I trust fits your date or budget, I say so.
- Read by me, answered by me.
