Why normal sizing fails
- Plus sizes are graded up from a 5'6" fit model, so a 16 that fits your hips has a bodice two inches too long and a waist seam that lands on your hip.
- Petite ranges stop at 14 or 16, and petite-plus ranges have mostly disappeared from stores.
- Hemming fixes the skirt but not the bodice, the sleeve or where the waist sits.
How we get your fit
Tell us your height, bust and hip. We take width from your larger size and shorten every length (bodice, sleeve, rise, skirt) to your height so seams land where they should. A technical designer reviews every order.
Questions
Is this made to measure?
It is made to order to your proportions. We start from a tested pattern, adjust its lengths and proportions to your numbers, and a technical designer reviews the result before sampling.
What if it does not fit?
We sample first and make it right. If a delivered garment misses the promised fit, we remake it or refund you.
How long does it take?
Made to order: typically several weeks from deposit to delivery, confirmed with your order.
Can I change the design?
Yes. Customize opens the garment in our studio where you can change color, fabric, details and artwork. Your fit is kept separately, so design edits never undo it.
Petite Plus is made by ownthread, where anyone can design their own clothes and have them made for real.
