Custom design stitching in Portugal

Send Your Design lets you share that picture or description from anywhere in Portugal, and we make it to your own measurements in Pakistan. A single piece is welcome.

Custom design for Portugal

Send your own design, a reference photo or written requirements, and we make it to your measurements.

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

What to send from Portugal

The clearer the reference, the closer the result. Photos of the front and back help, with close-ups of the neckline, sleeve and hem, and a line or two saying what you love and what you would change. A rough sketch on paper photographed on your phone is fine, and so is a written description if you have no picture at all. Our guide to briefing a tailor with screenshots shows what helps most.

Western pieces count too. A midi dress for a summer wedding you are attending as a guest, a pair of wide trousers or a long tunic can all be made from your design, as made-to-measure Western dresses explains.

Adapting a picture to Portuguese weather

A photo shot for a Lahore summer or a Karachi party may show a fabric that suits Portugal badly. For Lisbon in August we might suggest a lighter lawn than the original; for a wet Porto winter, a lining and full sleeves. On cobbled streets, a trouser that clears your shoes is kinder than a floor-sweeping one. We suggest these changes, and you decide what goes into the written quote.

Choosing the fabric route

Once the design is clear, pick Fabric + Stitching in Portugal if you want us to source the fabric, or Stitching Only if you already own a suit that suits the design. The Portugal page explains delivery, IVA and the EU duty, all of which sit inside your quote.

FAQ

Custom design questions

Cities in Portugal

Do I need to draw a sketch?

No. A screenshot, a photo of an outfit you own, or a written description is enough. We ask questions if anything is unclear and agree every detail in writing before cutting.

Can I send a design for just one dress?

Yes. Our minimum order is one suit or one piece, so a single dress, kurta or co-ord made from your own design is a normal order.
