CHANGES

​

A custom garment made is a sort of evolutionary process, and sometimes it may be necessary to make changes to the design or construction to make it work. However, the earlier in the process these changes can be made the better, so if you are thinking that you would like to make a change, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can accommodate your request.  In most cases, if you let us know soon enough, we can make minor changes at no additional charge. If there is a major change which requires the purchase of more material or additional labor, there may be extra charges which will be agreed upon by both parties before the changes are made. However, once the production process has started no changes can be made.
