Custom
Made once,
for one person.
A commission starts as a conversation and ends as a gown that fits nobody else. Everything in between happens in the workroom on San Jose Street.

Fabric is sourced, patterns are cut for you and nothing is rushed. Bring us your date early — the calendar fills furthest ahead.
An hour together in the studio. Bring photographs, colours, anything you've been saving — and the date you need it for.
A sketch you sign off on, then the fabric: what it costs, how it moves, how it will sit in Bohol heat.
Your measurements, your pattern. Nothing is cut from stock and nothing is shared with another piece.
You come back as the piece takes shape. It's adjusted on you, not on a form, until the line is right.
Pressed, boxed and collected. It stays yours — a commission is never returned to the rental floor.
You are not choosing a gown. You are watching one be made.
Six consultations a day — three in the morning, three in the afternoon, an hour each. Pick a day and a time that's still open.

One person per slot — greyed-out times are already taken by a consultation or a fitting. The studio can only do one at a time.
Yes, pageant gowns are made to order. In 2026 the studio designed Reyna Magdala for the Bohol Grand Santacruzan at Plaza Rizal, one of 33 designers taking part during National Heritage Month. Pageant gowns are commissioned only and are never added to the rental collection.
Yes, and the earlier you bring us the date the better. Commissions start with an hour-long consultation in the studio, where you bring your date along with photographs and colours. The calendar fills furthest ahead, so dates are confirmed at that first conversation.
Yes. Barong and Filipiniana are made to order as well as rented. A commission is cut for one person from your own measurements, with fabric sourced for you and fittings on you rather than on a form. Rentals are ready-made pieces from the studio floor.
