How to Setup a Bespoke Tailoring Workflow on Shopify
Bespoke ≠ MTM. Pattern from scratch. Multiple fittings. 4-8 weeks.
The Workflow
1. Initial deposit. Customer pays 30-50% deposit on Shopify. Order created.
2. Measurement collection. 25-30 measurements via Tailor Size Guide. OR booking for in-person fitting.
3. Pattern + first cut. Tailor drafts custom pattern. Cuts a "baste" (rough first version).
4. First fitting. Customer tries baste. Adjustments noted. (In-person, video call, or mail-and-photo.)
5. Final cut + finishing. Pattern adjusted. Final garment cut + sewn.
6. Final fitting + delivery. Last touches. Ship to customer. Charge balance.
