Frequently Asked Questions.
-
Rather than adapting an existing design, every Sandra Loï creation begins with an individual pattern and a fitting toile made for you. The toile allows us to study your posture, silhouette, movement and the balance of the garment before cutting the chosen fabric. The aim is not simply to fit a garment to your measurements, but to build it around you.
-
A Sandra Loï creation is for women seeking a personal piece, made to order and designed to last. Each project values craftsmanship, timelessness and the expression of your identity over standardised production.
-
There are five stages: a consultation with Sandra Loï, design and sketches, a toile fitting, basted fittings, and delivery. Each stage refines the intended use, line, volumes, fabrics, proportions and comfort before the finished piece is presented to you.
-
Measurements alone cannot describe a silhouette. The toile allows us to observe the shoulders, the curve of the back, the balance between the torso and hips, posture and movement, and to adjust the piece before cutting the chosen fabric.
