NOVELETTE ELLIS

Personal Fitting and Alteration Service

Novelette Novalis fitting and alteration service includes a home consultation for personal fittings or fittings prior to an alteration. Please get in touch with your requirements.

My Process

The Novelette Novalis custom-made fittings and alteration service takes many factors into consideration.

During the fitting we will fine-tune the fit, add or modify design details and adjust proportions. Be sure that you wear suitable undergarments and shoes that will be worn with finish apparel; this applies to male and femaleBecause figures can change which become obvious depend on the  undergarments worn especially the position and fullness of the bust. It is only during these fittings that the subtleties of fit are realised.

The client’s posture is taken into consideration, how he or she carries their arms. The slope of the shouldersIs the neck short or long? We call attention to the swell of female bust. Is hers a fleshy figure, and if so, where is the flesh distributed? How much cleavage does she want to show? Approximately 2-4 fittings will be required for one off attire made from style chosen from designs; alterations are 1-2 fittings as the styling of design may change slightly according to customer decisions.
