Nathalie N, Founder
I grew up having almost all my wardrobe tailored in an atelier run by my mother. I’ve been always struggling with the right size. As my measurements were not standard, I used to be very frustrated about not having fashion-industry-standard body measurements.
Having travelled the world, it’s in Paris where I understood that it’s such a privilege to have clothes designed and tailored especially for you and I wanted to make this personal shopping experience accessible, no matter where people are based.
This is how I came up with the idea of online atelier once realising that there are other women, who don’t have time for fittings at a tailor, struggle to find clothes that work for their body types and meet their style.
Thanks for sharing this journey with us and we can’t wait to welcome you to Dressarte community!
Best wishes, Nathalie

The textile industry is one of the most polluting industries on earth and waste is at the very heart of fashion. The US has generated 15 million tonnes of textile waste each year for the past 20 years. The UK sent 235 million items of clothing to landfill.
Over the years we built our own supply chain sourcing luxurious surplus
fabrics directly from mills, and deadstock fabrics from Italian and French fashion houses, thus being able to offer a more competitive price-point.
Custom-made production means no stock, no over production, no waste. Our priority is to offer natural fabrics that are biodegradable and have benefits for health and environment.
We work with experienced tailors, dressmakers and small ateliers who work on clothes production for our clients. Our service is even more responsible as the supply chain is better optimised and more efficient, with a low carbon footprint.
We support local production with dressmakers and ateliers located in France, the UK, Dubai and Italy. So, depending on the origin of raw materials, the type of garment ordered, expertise, production capacities and customers location, the clothing will be produced in one of these locations.
