What the making includes

Pattern, two fittings in Ushafa or one fitting plus alterations, and a lined bodice. If you have not already bought the cloth, it is quoted with the making.

Printed cotton with a mind of its own. Motifs are placed so they are not sliced through the face or the bust.

The first fitting is part of the making. If the garment does not sit the way you and Mairy agreed, it is altered in-house before you pay the balance. You do not take home a dress that argues with you.
