ADD-ONS
During your consultation, if you have particular fitting issues we will suggest certain add-ons as solutions.
It is common for clients to want to move forward without those suggestions and decide to add them later, but please be advised that because most add-ons we suggest have a positive effect on the fit; they should be added into the initial fittings
– A CUSTOMER IS FREE TO REFUSE AN ADD-ON UNLESS IT IS NEEDED FOR STRUCTURAL REASONS.

How Long Does the Initial Set up Process Take?
A custom bra is not a fast process but it is one of the most rewarding self care acts one can do for themselves.
The process to expect for a custom bra is:
– A consultation to establish your fit and style.
– About 3 fittings (each spaced about 2-3 weeks) apart allowing time to adjust the pattern and alter the fitting bra in the sewing department.
– Once the fitting garment is approved it will be sent to final production which takes an average of 2-3 weeks maybe a bit longer for special lace or delicate details.
Start to finish the entire set up process can take around 2 – 3 months.
Do you have Bras in Stock?
- Each client is individually shaped, for this reason, we do not typically carry in-stock bras.
Is there a way to try on a standard size before I purchase?
There are over 72 different combinations that make up the size range of ready to wear bras.
If you are unsure of what size to order we have also developed a proprietary measuring tool that will assist you in getting the closest fit possible. We suggest scheduling an online fitting consultation so we can help you pick the right size.
The Online Fitting service will run about an hour on average and the cost is $50. Terms apply.
What if I do not like my bra; what is your return policy?
In a perfect world this wouldn’t be an issue; but for this reason we strongly advise scheduling a consultation to avoid measuring mistakes.
If you choose to proceed with ordering a Standard Size Bra on your own without our assistance it is much more probable that inaccurate measurements will cause issues. For this reason you will be asked to sign a no return waiver.

What About Reorders?
I have a bra I Love!! Can you remake the same bra?
We have made replica bras for clients in the past and continue to offer this service in our Level 4 – Custom Sillhouette Package. We will spend time deconstructing the bra you send us (yes we must take it apart) and from that, we will begin your fitting process.
A few important factors to mention are:
Pattern Shape – Over time the original shape of a bra is altered from being washed, worn, and stretched out and will vary drastically from the manufacturer’s original pattern. This is not to say that it isn’t a great starting point but you will still need a couple of fittings to refine the fit to your liking.
Fabrics – We offer a full range of bra fabric choices and can offer a fabric with the same properties but it is usually impossible to find the same exact fabric but even if so, it could also be viewed as copyright infringement if we were to make it in the exact fabric design.
Construction – We make “Cut and Sew Bras” without foam or with to give a molded cup look. The bra must have seams to customize the shape. (Read more Below)
Molded Cup Bras – These bra are seamless and come mostly from China. They produced by what is called injection molding, a process that injects foam into a mold into a predecided breast shape and literally stamps out hundreds at a time. This is Great for production processes and keeping costs low but what this does is essentially say “this is the shape of the breast we make and your breast must form to that shape or it will not fit.” If you have a Molded Cup Bra without seams and you would like to replicate the fit; we can get the exact shape and look but it must be produced in a cut and sew a bra style. This means that we will need to add seams because we do not have the same molds/stamps that the company you purchased the original bra from as those are proprietary information for each company.
Why Does the Process Take 3 Fittings?
The process for fitting a bra is a very detailed and meticulous process.
Multiple items such as the band, underwire, cup volume, strap placement, back and body bands, as well as tissue placement and density all combine to make an almost endless combination of sizes.
Each adjustment must be made individually and in a specific sequence to insure proper fit.
Due to unique volume distribution or lack of tissue pliability, some people require more fitting steps than others.
During your last fitting we will confirm all of your bras details and an estimated pickup date.
Based on how busy our production schedule is, a custom bra can take an average of 4-6 weeks to produce from the date of your FINAL fitting and pattern approval.
If long distance; how can I establish what size I should order?
We understand how hard online bra purchases can be, so we have developed a measuring tool that will assist you in finding the perfect fit; developed to work with our standard sizing system. Once printed it is placed against the bust according to instructions (included in the print out) and the numbers are recorded and used to find the size that is your closest fit.
Do you make Molded Cups Bras?
We make “Cut and Sew Bras” without foam or with to give a molded cup look. The bra must have seams to customize the shape.
The Differance in Molded Cup Bras – These bra are seamless and come mostly from China. They produced by what is called injection molding, a process that injects foam into a mold into a predecided breast shape and literally stamps out hundreds at a time. This is Great for production processes and keeping costs low but what this does is essentially say “this is the shape of the breast we make and your breast must form to that shape or it will not fit.” If you have a Molded Cup Bra without seams and you would like to replicate the fit; we can get the exact shape and look but it must be produced in a cut and sew a bra style.
