Custom design, made-to-measure and alterations

Start with the result, not the label

Clothing businesses use terms such as custom and made-to-measure differently. A useful enquiry explains the actual changes you want instead of relying only on a label. Do you want a new design, a familiar shape made for your measurements, or adjustments to a garment you already own?

LDX develops garments around an agreed brief. The final specification should state the silhouette, measurements, materials and details included. A reference picture is a starting point for discussion, not a complete manufacturing instruction.

Custom design

A custom design brief may change neckline, sleeves, skirt volume, closures, fabric or decorative placement. These decisions can affect the pattern and construction, so they should be considered together.

Mark what you want to preserve from a reference and what you want changed. A front image alone cannot establish the back opening, lining, internal support or seam positions. Add sketches or written notes where those details matter.

Made-to-measure and alterations

A made-to-measure approach begins with an agreed design and adapts dimensions to the wearer. Confirm which design details remain fixed and which fit adjustments are included. Material stretch and structure still matter when interpreting measurements.

Alterations start from a finished garment. What can be changed depends on its construction and available fabric. This guide explains the distinction; it does not promise that LDX can alter every existing garment. Send the garment details for a feasibility discussion.

Put the scope in writing

Before ordering, record whether the quote covers design development, pattern changes, sample work, fitting review and the final garment. Also confirm responsibility for any later local alterations.

If you want to change from a simple fit adjustment to a new silhouette, ask for a revised scope before work continues. Matching the project description to the actual work helps keep your budget and timeline realistic.
