THE ATELIER GUIDE
A little care.
A meaningful difference.
Body measurements and finished garment dimensions are different. Use a flexible tape, keep it level and relaxed, and ask someone to help. The atelier reviews every tailored specification.
The ready-to-wear chart below is approved by RAHEEQ. Tailored measurement requirements vary by pattern. No universal ease allowance is applied.
