We believe the best clothes are built on the best working relationships, and that is why we are proud to offer Tasty Treat's Couture Club service to clients who plan on investing in their custom wardrobes!
What is Couture Club?
Members of our Couture Club pay a flat fee to have their very own custom pattern toolkit, drafted from scratch and stored in their own special file in our design studio. We'll keep your toolkit, which includes a custom sloper and special custom mockup, active in our files for 2 years, and we will use this pattern toolkit every time we build something for you. Contact us to schedule your free consultation!
What's included?
Every Couture Club member gets the following:
What's a sloper?
It's a basic pattern that is drafted completely from scratch using formulas and your specific measurements, upon which all other patterns can be based. The difference between clothing made from a custom sloper and alterations on a standard pattern is the difference between having a pair of shorts (or leggings, or a bra) that are designed specially to fit your body perfectly, and an off-the-rack design that you need to take in/let out/rearrange parts until it's "good enough." Since every body is unique, it's not surprising that even if the numbers are right, clothing manufacturers can't take into account every curve and swerve that makes your body yours.
Why 2 years?
A lot can change in 2 years. Bodies get stronger, biceps get bigger, booties get juicier, waists get narrower, proportions change... and most importantly, fit preferences often change. At a certain point, the number of changes to the fit of your custom sloper starts affecting the overall comfort and fit, and it becomes time to start from scratch from a fresh set of measurements.
What's the advantage of Couture club?
Well, if perfectly fitting clothes aren't enough already, one major advantage for repeat customers is the savings you'll get in the labor portion of every custom outfit ordered from Tasty Treat. If your designer has to modify a standard pattern or draft a new one every single time they make something for you, that can add up to 2 or more hours of pattern design time, which adds to the overall cost of each outfit. Couture Club customers with slopers already on file can average savings of up to $80 per custom outfit. It also allows us to order less overage of any expensive fashion fabric you choose for your custom pieces because we're sure we've measured twice, so we'll only need to cut once! As a bonus: members of our Couture Club receive 20% off every 6th custom order (buy 5 garments, get 20% off the 6th one).
How much is it?
We're just like the dessert cart over here. You can have a little, or you can have all of it:

What's included?
Every Couture Club member gets the following:
- An in-person measurement session with Kimmie S'amore (aka Bottle Service)
- A custom sloper pattern stored on file in the Tasty Treat design studio
- A special mockup made from the custom sloper, also stored at the Tasty Treat design studio. This is where the money-saving magic happens. Before we cut the fabric for each of your custom outfits, you'll try your stored mockup on so we can track and make any accommodations for minor weight/measurement fluctuations. This way, we can make your final garment to your most up-to-date body shape and ensure it's compatible with your chosen fabric. All of these time-saving shortcuts mean that we can spend less time concentrating on trying to achieve that perfect fit and more time concentrating on all the cool customizations you'll want on your outfit!
- 20% off every 5th custom piece (buy 4, get the 5th one 20% off)
