Made to Order Shirting from Ann Mashburn at The Hive

One of the great parts of our Ann Mashburn Trunk Show event is the Made to Order shirting.

We always explain that Made to Order is not Made to Measure. When you do Made to Measure, which is common in the men’s clothing world, they take all your measurements to make a custom shirt.

Made to Order is a little different. The Ann Mashburn team has sent samples of four different styles of shirts and two different dresses in all the sizing available. You try one of these models on and after you order, it’s made. One of the dresses, the Anaya, is new to the made to order program and one of the most popular styles. I am really excited about this addition and I think our clients will be, too. You can try on the sample sizes of the items and then pick from a fabric book of more than 40 swatches and you will receive a made to order shirt or dress.

The hard part: you have to wait four to six weeks for the item to arrive, but I promise it’s  worth the wait!

Owner | The Hive and The Shoe Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
