From Kenya

Customise our designs for Kenya

Start from one of our designs and change the neckline, sleeves, length, trousers, lining, pieces or embroidery.

Sizes, delivery and sending fabric from Kenya: ordering from Kenya.

Starting points for Kenyan days

Our tiered maxi dress is long, covered and light: chiffon falling in three tiers, with full balloon sleeves and a split band collar, in seven colours. It works for an Eid visit on the coast or a weekend in Nairobi, and the designs page shows what else you can start from.

Adjustments worth considering

For the coast: lawn, no lining, elbow sleeves and wide-leg trousers that let air move. For Nairobi in July: full sleeves, a lining and perhaps a waistcoat for warmth. For more coverage at work or the mosque: a longer kameez and a higher neckline. To wear with jeans: a shorter kurta and no dupatta.

Any of these can be combined with a different embroidery level or trouser style, and you choose Fabric + Stitching or Stitching Only. All the changes are agreed in writing before cutting.

FAQ

Customise our designs questions

Cities in Kenya

Can I customise the tiered maxi dress?

Yes. Common changes are a lining for less sheerness, a shorter ankle length or three-quarter sleeves. Tell us on the quote form and we confirm them in writing.

Do I have to use your fabric for a customised design?

No. You can send your own once we have confirmed it is suitable and enough, or let us source it.

How do I tell you which changes I want?

Choose the design on the quote form, select the neckline, sleeves, length, trousers, lining, pieces and embroidery level you want, and add anything else in the notes, with a photo if it helps. If you are unsure what will suit the weather where you live, ask and we will suggest options in writing.
