Commission Service

For our limit capability of new design making, we cannot replied all commission request, we can only reply part of the commission request.

Commission of new designs: If you have own idea, and want us to realize it, please just send us your requirement and reference picture linkages ( of photos, drawings, or Anime pictures ), for:

1. Apparel daily wearing tailored with personal requirement;
2. Special occasion dressing (EX: Wedding, Cosplay );
3. Uniform with custom need (in group or personal);
4. Performing costume project (Dance, Movie, etc).

Just before send your enquiry email, please read awhile the notification below:
When we accept commission according to client’s description, requirement, personal measurement and reference pictures, we would make all we can to effect client’s requirement as accurately as possible, and would clarify all we can to clients before ordering/making. But it’s impossible that the finished work is exactly same as the reference pictures we received, the possible reason are as following: difference on fabrics, lace and material, color difference, client’s status, and especially for cosplay commission, the actual clothes pattern cannot achieve some requirement of Drawing Effects (such as a float shape hoop skirt without any inside prop, or all black threads in the costumes--that is because the edge of the original pictures was drawn in black--if you have this special requirement you need to inform us firstly before making, some of them is beyond our ability, some could be arranged. ).

Please note: commission orders are NO return or exchange.

We do not accept FREE sample commission request. A new clothes, especial decent quality with accurate details cosplay costume need hard work on pattern making, fabrics/accessories making/stock, redesign, sample making, adjustment and final confirmation. And many commission pattern only used once because they are very special.

All new clothes making would be start after received final order information and payment.
