Dador is happy to offer tailoring services on an individual basis. Please reach out to us to set up a consultation. info@wearedador.com We will schedule a time for you to come by the store and have your measurements taken to create your made-to-measure garment.

For Made-to-Order purchases online, please follow the instructions below to take your own measurements at home and share them with us. This will allow us to more accurately produce the correct size item for your body. 

Preparation: Remove shoes. Wear tight-fitting clothes. Wear a comfortable bra without padding so as not to distort the bust measurement.

* Tip: Use a thin ribbon to tie around the waist as a belt, identifying the exact location of the waist. It should be neither too tight or too loose. Ask a friend or family member for help. This is a two person activity for accuracy.
