Step 1

Getting to know you:

Style and Fabric Selection

Our clients will tell you the made-to-measure process is consultative and collaborative.

Make an appointment and settle in with

a cup of tea or glass of wine,

and we’ll get to know each other.

Have a look at our many beautiful jacket, skirt,

pant, and dress styles.

Let's talk about your life, your needs, your style.

Look through the many gorgeous European fabrics available to you. Any style can be in any fabric.

Any combination of styles can be put together.

You can be as creative as you like,

and we can offer expert advice.

Our “strong suit” is helping you establish a style authentic to you.

Once we get to know you, we have an uncanny ability to recommend just the perfect three season wool, colorful and feminine boucle, or novelty woven you’ve been dreaming of and assemble it in the most flattering style for you.

Step 2

Sizing up the situation

Then it’s time to try on a standard size jacket, skirt, pant, or dress.

Our try-ons make it easy to find your size; we have try-ons in sizes 2 to 20 and use them not just to determine your size, but also to learn how you like to wear your clothes. We find no two clients are alike in their preference, even if they are the same measurements.

You'll begin by slipping into your nearest size.

Should your waist come in a bit?

Need just a tad in the bust?

What about the length?

Should it be longer? Shorter?

How do you like your sleeves?

We’ll address your posture to make sure you and your garment stand and move the same way.

Dara’s thirty year study of women’s specific posture and movement and our proprietary technique of balancing the coat to you is what makes DARA so much more comfortable than other garments.

Step 3

Your pattern and fitting

We prepare your patterns to your

individual specs.

We'll call you in for a fitting and here is where the rest of the magic takes place.

Attaining your personalized fit is our passion.

We don’t cut corners or rush you.

Here is when you can give us subtle feedback.

Our attention to the final tweaking of the garment is what sets us apart and why we are known as the best in the industry.

The best part: This fine tweaking is also done to your patterns.

Once we have your patterns on file, getting ready for the next season can be as easy as emailing us!

Choose the jacket length

that’s right for you

Same suit: Three jacket lengths

Wear it your way---the way it looks best on you---

only from Dara

Sometimes you see a jacket you like in a fabric you like but

when you try it on the length is wrong. Too short---or perhaps too long?

With Dara, your jacket is made to be the length you want—short, medium or long.

It’s another way Dara made-to-measure makes it easy for you to look your best.

And pants, skirts, dresses---all are made to your measurements for the finest fit you’ve ever had.
