What to specify in your order
Give the atelier as much detail as possible: technique (accordion, knife, box, etc.), fold width, fabric, quantity, and deadline. The more precise your brief, the better the result.
- Technique (accordion, knife, box, sunburst, crystal, fluted, plissé, other)
- Fold width (mm)
- Fabric type and weight
- Quantity (meters or pieces)
- Timeline / deadline
- End application (garment, drapery, industrial)
Sending fabric swatches
Always send a swatch before a full order. The atelier will test the fabric's behavior under steam and heat and may recommend adjustments.
Prototyping
For bespoke patterns, expect a prototype step. Budget 1–2 weeks for prototype creation before full production.
Lead times
Standard techniques on polyester: 1–2 weeks. Bespoke patterns or delicate fabrics: 3–4 weeks. Slim Plissage can accommodate rush orders with advance notice.
Shipping
Slim Plissage ships worldwide with careful packaging to preserve pleats. Most deliveries to Europe arrive within 3–5 business days after dispatch.
