Garment prototypes

“Basic, traditional, and meticulous tailoring work, essential for creating garments that truly function, before any digital or artificial process.”

Who is it for?

This service is designed for emerging brands and independent designers who need to quickly check if their design truly works when worn.

How does it work?

You send me the design of the garment (even a rough sketch) with any relevant instructions.

We set up a meeting — online or in person — where you explain what you want to achieve.

I ask targeted questions about volume, intended use, style, and fit.

Then I start the hands-on work: I create the pattern and make the first fit sample, using toile or real fabric.

Why choose Paelì Couture?

My work is creating the base prototype: a sample made to test fit, proportions and the functionality of the pattern. It is not a finished garment, but a key technical step to see if the design truly works

With my Italian sartorial expertise, I turn creative ideas into reliable prototypes, giving brands a clear and professional check before moving into production.

From runway pieces to real prototypes.
"I’ve created custom garments for red carpet events, performances and photo shoots.
Over time, I realized my true strength lies in pattern-making: understanding how shapes, volumes and lines work on real bodies — including non-standard and transitioning ones.

That’s why I now offer hands-on support to emerging brands, developing base patterns and fit samples from scratch, and guiding the prototype through testing and refinement" Paula E. Liguori
