MADE TO MEASURE
Cut to your body, not a chart
Kaftan, Buba, Dashiki, Agbada — cut to your measurements in Lagos, wherever you are in the world.
THE INTAKE
Give us your numbers
Five steps. Ten minutes with a tape. Everything you enter here goes straight to the cutting table — so take it slowly, and tell us if you are unsure.
Choose your piece
Take one, or take several. Each piece is cut on its own, so every extra style adds to the time — you will see it move as you choose.
Choose at least one style to continue.
Tell us the colours
Tap up to three, in the order you want them. We will bring you the closest cloth we have and photograph it before anything is cut.
Choose colours for each piece, in the order you want them
Timing
If there is a date this has to meet — a wedding, a naming, a flight — tell us now and we will say honestly whether we can make it.
It changes how we cut. A garment for a long day sits differently to one for an hour of photographs.
Pick at least one colour, or describe the one you want.
Measured twice, cut once
Wear light clothing and keep the tape snug, not tight. If a number feels wrong, it probably is — say so in the notes and we will check it with you.

How were these taken?
Body
All figures in inches
Around the fullest part, arms down.
Natural waist — the narrowest point.
Fullest part, about 8" below the waist.
Seam to seam, across the back.
Shoulder seam to wrist, arm slightly bent.
Shoulder down to where you want the hem to sit. This one decides the garment.
Around the fullest part of the upper arm.
Around the wrist bone.
Base of the neck, one finger of ease.
Waist to floor, down the outside of the leg.
Around the fullest part.
How wide the opening at the ankle should be.
Sense check
Not for cutting — for catching a number that has slipped.
Always in kilograms.
One line, large consequences. Choose honestly.
Optional
Only if you want a matching fila.
Crotch to floor.
Who these belong to
Name them so we can bring them back next time — or keep a set for someone else. “Me”, “Tunde”, “My father”.
Fill in every measurement above, or choose “Guide me on a video call”.
Where we reach you
A person from the workshop will contact you to confirm fabric and check your numbers before anything is cut.
This is how we reach you to confirm fabric and measurements. WhatsApp is fastest.
We need your name, a valid email, and a number we can reach you on.
Read it back
This is what goes to the table. Check every line — a wrong number here becomes a wrong garment there.
Please confirm the terms above before checking out.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Nothing is cut
until you say so.
Paying reserves your slot on the table — it does not start the clock. A person from the workshop speaks to you first, and only when you have confirmed the cloth and every number does anything get cut. Measured twice. Cut once.
1 — We reach you→
Within a working day, on WhatsApp. We bring you the cloth we actually have against the colours you gave us, and photograph it.
2 — We check the numbers→
Every measurement is read against the block. If one looks wrong, we take it again with you — on a call if that is easier.
3 — Then we cut→
36 hours on the table for one piece, 12 more for each additional one. Cut, sewn and finished by hand, then shipped to you anywhere.
FOR THE DIASPORA
An ocean away, measured properly
You do not need to be in Lagos. Take your own measurements and we will check them against the block, or leave them blank and ask us to guide you through every one on a live call. Same standard, wherever you are.
HONEST ABOUT THE CLOTH
The colour you want, the cloth we have
Pick three colours in order of preference. We will bring you the closest cloth on the shelf and photograph it for you before anything is cut. If none of them work, you are refunded in full — before production, not after.
