Almasi Bluu's Policy Guidelines for Custom Clothing and Tailoring Services
1. Appointment and Consultation Policy
- Initial consultations are by appointment only.
- A non-refundable consultation fee is required to book and reserve appointment times.
- For virtual consultations, fabric samples can be mailed or shared digitally for a fee.
- Changes to appointments must be made at least 48 hours in advance.
2. Measurement and Fitting Policy
- Accurate measurements are taken during the initial consultation; clients should avoid weight fluctuations to ensure a proper fit.
- Fittings are required for custom garments. The number of fittings will vary based on the garment's complexity.
- Clients must arrive on time for fittings to avoid delays in the production schedule.
3. Fabric and Material Policy
- Clients may provide their own fabric with prior approval, but the business is not responsible for flaws or defects in customer-provided materials.
- All fabrics and materials sourced by the business will be shown to the client for approval.
- Fabric changes after initial approval may incur additional fees and delay the timeline.
4. Design and Alteration Policy
- Custom designs will be created in collaboration with the client during consultations; any design changes after approval may result in additional fees.
- Minor alterations are included, but extensive design changes after fittings will be subject to an extra charge.
- Requests for last-minute changes may not be accommodated if they compromise the completion schedule.
5. Payment Policy

- Accepted payment methods include cash, credit card, or digital payment options.
- Payment plans may be available for large orders, with prior agreement.
6. Cancellation and Refund Policy
- Cancellations made after the deposit will forfeit the deposit.
- Refunds are not provided for custom orders once work has commenced, as each piece is unique to the client.
- Alterations or remakes will be considered if the garment does not fit the initial specifications, but refunds are not available.
7. Timeline and Delivery Policy
