Astrid knows that many women have given up on the clothes that feel good because it is virtually impossible to find the perfect fit. No women's shape conforms precisely to manufacturer's specifications. Astrid has 27 years' experience developing exclusive patterns based on "real" women's bodies, not fitting models. Measurements are carefully taken, insuring the custom garment will fit exactly as the client wishes. Dress silhouettes align with bust and waist; sleeves are never too long or too short and skirts and pants are tailored to the client's specific proportions. The fit corresponds to each client's individual architecture. Astrid's designs feature true couture construction and hand finishing made from the finest fabrics from Europe's couture mills.
