From South Africa

Customise our designs for South Africa

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

Sizes, delivery and sending fabric from South Africa: ordering from South Africa.

Where to start

Our tiered maxi dress is a long chiffon dress with balloon sleeves and three soft tiers, in seven colours. It suits a summer braai or a family lunch as drawn, and a few changes take it into other seasons and settings. Browse our designs to see what is currently available as a starting point.

Changes that help here

Whatever you start from, the changes can follow the weather. For Highveld winters, add a lining, choose full sleeves, or add a waistcoat over the kameez. For the Cape wind, leave out the dupatta or pick straight trousers over a wide flare. For a humid Durban summer, go unlined in lawn with elbow sleeves. Wearing a kurta with jeans? Ask for a shorter, mid-thigh length.

You can also change the neckline, the trouser style or the embroidery level, and choose our fabric or yours. The full list is on our designs page.

FAQ

Customise our designs questions

Can I change more than one thing on a design?

Yes. Combine any of the changes on the quote form, such as full sleeves, a lining and a different trouser style. Everything is agreed in writing before cutting.

Can I use my own fabric with one of your designs?

Yes, with Stitching Only, once we have confirmed your fabric is suitable and enough for that design.

Will a customised design cost more?

Every order is quoted individually, so your written quote shows the total for the design with your changes before you pay.
