Shirts and blouses made for you

Made-to-measure women's shirts and blouses in Officer, in silk, cotton and crepe, with collar, cuff and sleeve details chosen by you. Melbourne south east.

A blouse that fits through the shoulder and bust without pulling is a rare thing to buy and an easy thing for us to make. HMN cuts shirts and blouses to your measurements in silk, cotton poplin, crepe, satin and linen, with the collar, cuff, sleeve and length you choose.

Classic shirts for work, soft blouses for evenings, bow-neck and pussy-bow styles, tie-waist shapes and modest long-sleeve designs are all part of our regular work. Buttonholes are finished properly, seams are clean, and the hem is shaped so it sits well tucked or untucked.

We also fix shirts you own: slimming the body, shortening sleeves, moving buttons and replacing collars. Clients from Officer, Pakenham, Berwick and the wider south east come to us for pieces that simply work every time they are worn.

FAQ

Questions we are often asked

Can you make several shirts from one pattern?

Yes. Once your pattern is drafted and fitted, repeat shirts in new fabrics are faster and quoted accordingly.

Do you make blouses to match a skirt or suit?

Yes. Bring the piece and we will match the colour and weight so the set reads as one outfit.

How long does a custom blouse take?

Two to three weeks including one fitting. Repeat orders are usually quicker.

Do you alter men's shirts for women?

Yes. We regularly reshape shirts to a feminine fit through the waist, shoulder and sleeve.
