Step 1: Style Development
This session is focused on you and discovering more about your personal style and lifestyle preferences.
The core of who you are does not change much, and we want that to come through with your wardrobe style.
Over the coming years, as life happens and you change, you will be able to apply the same foundational knowledge to what you buy and wear.
We will discuss fabric, fit, colour, silhouette, style lines, patterns and prints, accessories, jewelry, shoes, outerwear, brands, shopping habits, body requirements, personality, hair and makeup, lifestyle needs and anything else that comes up.
It is a fully holistic approach. Everything we discuss will be strategically organized and compiled into a private google doc. A pdf will also be emailed to you for easy reference.
Step 2: Wardrobe Design
This session is focused on building out a visual representation of your ideal wardrobe.
We will consider all aspects of your life, including regular activities and events, body size fluctuations and seasonal requirements.
We will start building out a visual of your ideal wardrobe using a private Pinterest board.
The goal of this session is to leave you with something to work towards during our time together and afterwards.
Shown here: a snippet of Andrea’s Pinterest board for A Dash of Sassafrass, her personal style statement.
Step 3: Closet Curation
We start with your existing wardrobe to see what works and what doesn't, while letting go of items that no longer work (takeaway service is available).
IN-PERSON OPTION
We will do a thorough and detailed review of everything in your wardrobe(s). Some items will be great with a simple tweak, which I will fit on the spot, bring them home with me to alter and send them back to you. Your closet will be organized by garment style or outfits.
The amount of time it takes depends on how big your wardrobe is or how many closets you have. While you have me for the day the longest it has taken (so far) is 6 hours.
VIRTUAL OPTION
You will be doing all the heavy lifting before we meet. I will send you guidelines to follow and questions to ask yourself as you work through your wardrobe and create organized piles.
When we meet we will go through any questions you have about specific items. During the session, I will have you try certain things on and ask questions to help you make some difficult decisions. I will be available over chat for 48 hours to answer any follow up questions you may have as you continue to work through things.
Both options will help you identify gaps and create a procurement list to move forward with.
Shown here: Andrea and Sharon going through Sharon’s wardrobe piece by piece.
Step 4: Garment Procurement
Based on the gaps we have identified and the list of what to shop for, we will go shopping together.
IN PERSON OPTION
This can be in your local area or at an alternative shopping location. We will be very intentional with the shops we go to and what we try on, maximizing your time. We will only buy items that are an absolute yes!
For anything we do not find we can look at having something custom made for you. I will take your measurements for you. I make a number of different garments in my home studio and I know a number of other designers who would be delighted to work with you.
VIRTUAL OPTION
We will shop online together and I will be guiding you and helping you make quality decisions. I am able to determine the credibility of sites as well as the quality of the garment simply by looking at the photos.
So you have an idea of what you can expect to spend, we will come up with an estimate for new items, alterations and/or custom design based on your specific needs.
Shown here: Andrea looking at a potential new purchase on Dorothy in the mirror.
Step 5: Playing Dress-up
Once you have all your new items (including any alterations and custom designs) we will get together to play dress-up to see how many ways we can put everything together.
IN PERSON OPTION
I will take photos of your outfits and add them to your private Pinterest board for reference. If you want to do your hair and makeup, we can make it even more fun and take some photos to use for your personal brand image.
VIRTUAL OPTION
I am happy to take screenshots and add them to your Pinterest board, or you can take mirror selfies.
The main purpose of this session is to have fun and get your creative juices flowing when it comes to your wardrobe style and how you represent yourself.
Shown here: Sharon with a put together look that expresses her personality perfectly.
Step 6: Integration & Follow Up
Approx. 3-4 months after our dress-up session we will meet to see how things are integrating.
I love hearing any new epiphanies you have been having as well as what you are wearing more often and what new gaps you may have found in your wardrobe.
It's also great to catch up and see what's new in your world.
Shown here: Becky of BS Communications was more than prepared for her business brand photoshoot in her put together look and custom designed tee after working with Andrea to develop her stand out style.
What comes next?
Once we have worked together on your wardrobe, I would be delighted to keep working with you. Some things to consider are having a professional branded photoshoot done, upping your online presence, or hiring me for one-off events.
Whether you are having your picture snapped, making videos or standing in front of hundreds (even thousands) of people, having someone you trust to ensure you are looking and feeling great can make all the difference.
I am happy to discuss what would work best for your needs. Simply send me a message to talk about what your needs are and we’ll go from there 💃🏼

Feel comfortable & confident in your clothes everyday.

The time committment varies depending on whether it is in person or virtual, and can be completed in a day or be stretched out over several months. This will be estimated in your custom quote.
