Custom Clothing
Each Self-Made Couture garment is custom made using your measurements and a digital pattern created specifically for your body. Your fabric is precisely cut and the garment is constructed from fabrics sourced from mills around the world. Your measurements and pattern can also help make future orders easier and more consistent.
Standard custom clothing production is approximately 6–8 weeks. Rush orders may be available in as little as 2 weeks depending on the garment, fabric, event date and production schedule. If you have a deadline, let your Design Expert know as early as possible.
We offer thousands of fabrics from mills and textile companies around the world. Your Design Expert can help you choose the right fabric based on your look, occasion, budget and timing.
Most custom suits, tuxedos, blazers and coats should be professionally dry cleaned only when necessary. Care instructions can vary by fabric, so ask your Design Expert if you have questions about a specific garment.
We design custom suits, tuxedos, shirts, trousers, blazers, coats and other custom-tailored pieces. Our clothing is designed for people of all genders and body types.
Consultations & Measurements
Yes. Custom clothing is made around the individual customer’s measurements and proportions. We design for a wide range of body types, sizes and genders.
After purchasing an eligible custom garment online, you’ll be guided through our Measurements experience. You can follow our step-by-step instructions to submit your measurements from home or book a FREE Design Consultation if you would prefer help from a Self-Made Couture Design Expert.
We recommend using Self-Made Couture’s measurement process whenever possible because our measurements are collected specifically for our custom clothing system. If you already have professional measurements, contact us before submitting them so we can confirm they include everything we need.

We stand behind the fit and quality of our custom clothing. If there is an issue, our team will first work with you to resolve it through adjustments or alterations. If the issue cannot reasonably be corrected, Self-Made Couture may remake the garment at no additional cost under our satisfaction guarantee.
Because custom clothing is made specifically for each customer, custom orders are generally non-refundable. Our priority is making sure you are satisfied with your garment. If a fit or construction issue cannot be resolved through alterations, Self-Made Couture may remake the garment at no additional cost in accordance with our satisfaction guarantee.
