ORDER PROCESS

How do I place my made to measure order?

Choose your preferred item from the main menu, select the size and then add to cart, you will be redirected to a cart page where you will see your shopping bill, proceed to the checkout page and input shipping and billing details, name and address, then continue to payments and choose payment through card or mobile money.

What measurements will you need to take my custom order? How will I know how to measure?

View our ‘made to measure guides’ from the ‘our size guide’ section on each product page. Our guides will give you clear and simple instructions on how to measure your own shirt, pair of shorts or trousers that fit you well at home or your body measurements if ordering a pencil skirt

Why can’t I send you my body measurements for my MTM shirt, trousers or shorts?

It will be much easier for you to measure a shirt, pair of trousers or shorts that fit you well at home instead of your body measurements as you can do this by yourself without any help from somebody else. It is also easier to measure accurately and therefore, you will be happier with the fit of your garment. If you do not have a shirt, pair of trousers or shorts that you like the fit of at home then please email us at o[email protected] before placing your order. 

Will my 100% cotton garment shrink after washing?

Our fabrics should not shrink as long as you follow our wash care instructions on the care label.
