Why Not Every Size Is Available in Every Model

I get this question all the time: “Why isn’t this model in my size?” “Why aren’t there more cup options?” “Why don’t you make more sizes?”

The answer isn’t simple — but it’s worth sharing, because the truth matters.

Small Atelier, Big Intentions

First, I’m a small atelier. I love the idea of dressing every body, but I also have to make sustainable choices. I produce in very small runs — usually 3 or 4 pieces per model — and often I make pieces to order. This way, I don’t generate dead stock or waste.

I don’t make 1,000 identical pieces because that isn’t the soul of my project. And this care shows in the final result: every seam, every lace drape, every fit is intentional.

Not Every Model Works for Every Body

Some cuts simply don’t offer the support needed for larger cups or certain backs. Designing isn’t just about scaling sizes; it’s about creating garments that feel right on a body.

A well-designed piece is not just a pattern; it’s a conversation between fabric and form. The tiniest difference — a curve, a shoulder, a cup — changes how the piece moves, how it feels, and how it makes you feel.

How I Design

Like many independent designers, I usually start from my own body. It’s the one I know best, the one I can test each modification on quickly. From there, I scale the pattern to other sizes.

Designing from my own body is practical and intentional: it reduces waste, speeds up testing, and allows me to refine the fit before expanding to other sizes.

But this doesn’t mean I ignore other bodies. It means that adaptation takes care, time, and attention — it’s not just filling in a size chart. If done incorrectly, the fit, comfort, and beauty are lost.

Can You Get Your Size?

Yes! If a model you love isn’t in your size, I can make it made-to-measure or adapt it. But it requires your participation, your time, your desire. It’s not click-and-buy. It’s a collaboration: choosing a design, seeing what works, adjusting where necessary.

Why Made-to-Measure Costs More

Handmade, small-batch pieces take time and care. Fabric is often limited-stock or local, lace is delicate, and every pattern adjustment, cut, and stitch takes hours. Producing 1,000 identical pieces is completely different — faster, cheaper, but without soul.

What you pay reflects intention, care, and a piece designed for you, not a generic size chart.

Why This Matters

When I started this project, everything was personalized and made-to-measure. My goal was to give women the power to design their own lingerie without needing to sew. That’s also how my sewing classes began: sharing something magical, a gift of creativity and self-expression.

In practice, I learned not everyone is ready to design. People need inspiration, examples, and guidance — and they want choices that are ready to wear.

There’s also the modern challenge of instant gratification. We live in a world where everything is expected now. But designing with care takes time. A well-made garment, made with attention to detail, can’t be rushed.

This is why every piece I make is slow, intentional, and personal.

Your Invitation

If you’ve read this far, you care about the origin of what you wear, the value of craftsmanship, and the joy of wearing something that represents you.

A made-to-measure piece isn’t just lingerie — it’s a statement, a gift to yourself, a celebration of your body and desire.
