The Process
How It Works
ThreadsbyMaeva is a made-to-order atelier. Every garment follows a deliberate process from your first measurement to your final delivery.
Is This For Me?
ThreadsbyMaeva is right for you if…
Do you value clothing that fits your exact body?
Are you comfortable waiting 2–3 weeks for a garment?
Do you prefer modest, covered-shoulder styles?
Are you willing to take your own measurements?
Do you want a garment that will last 10+ years?
Are you looking for fast fashion or a quick purchase?
Do you need a garment in less than 2 weeks?
Are you looking for off-the-rack sizing?
If you answered yes to the first five questions, ThreadsbyMaeva was made for you. If capacity is full, you will be placed on the waitlist — your place is held.
Capacity & Waitlist
One garment. One week. One client.
ThreadsbyMaeva operates at a deliberate capacity: one garment per week. This is not a limitation — it is the standard. Every garment receives the full attention of the atelier. There are no shortcuts, no batch production, no compromises.
If the current schedule is full, you will be placed on the waitlist. Waitlist clients are contacted in order when a slot opens. Your measurements and preferences are held on file so that when your turn arrives, production can begin immediately.
Current lead time: 2–3 weeks from deposit confirmation.
Waitlist: Open. Join via the contact form.
