MADE TO ORDER
Perfectly fitted trousers made of linen paired with the cropped jacket top.
The Nohuoma collection is Made-to-order. We believe create minimal waste and curb overproduction and overconsumption.
The longer lead time between ordering and receiving a garment reminds us that patience pays off and encourages an appreciation for the time and effort that goes into making clothing. So, not only does made-to-order slow down the rate of production, but it also slows down our expectations of fashion.
Overall, the made-to-order process is more personalized, because the garment you order is made just for you, and there is something very special about that. These emotional connections with our clothing help to heal the disposability mindset that the fast fashion industry thrives on. As this is a small run business, production lead time is 6-8 weeks.
NOTE: Please note fabric colours may different slightly depending on what is available at that time. (Size 10 available)

MEASUREMENTS
Neck width - Take this all around your neck (Not too tight)
Over bust - Take this around your chest above your bust, with the tape measure going under each armpit and around your back and meeting at the front.
Bust - This is not the same as your bra size, take this around the fullest part of your bust, taken whilst wearing whatever type of bra you would normally wear under the dress. Take the tape measure around the back and meet at the front.
Under bust measurement - Take this around the ribcage just under the bust.
Natural waist - It is important that this measurement is taken at the smallest part of your waist, this is normally 1 or 2 inches above your belly button. This may be higher than where you are used to wearing your clothing.
Low Waist - This is around the circumference of your tummy, approximately 1 inch below the belly button.
Back length - Take this from the nape of your neck, the ‘knobbly bit’, down to your natural waist (again, the ribbon!).
Arm Scye - This is the measurement that determines the size of the arm holes of the garment. Please take this measurement all the way around the top of your shoulder and under your armpit so that the tape measure goes all the way around and meets at the top.
Shoulder width - This should be taken straight across the back of the shoulders, from the corner of one shoulder to the corner of the other. Please try to do this without curving the tape measure around the sides of the arms.
Skirt Length - if you would like the skirt shorter or longer, say around mid calf or ‘Tea length’, then please let us know and also take the measurement accordingly. Stand in front of a mirror and measure this by taking the tape measure from your natural waist down the middle of one leg to where you would like the skirt to finish (try not to lean forward when you do this!).
Upper arm circumference - Gently take the tape measure around the fullest part of your upper arm
Above elbow - The circumference of your arm just above the elbow
Height - Feet or cms are both fine.
Hips/Bottom - take this around the fullest part of your hips/bottom (this is normally quite low down around your bottom)
Upper Thighs - take this around the top of both thighs just underneath your bottom
NOTE: We do personal measurements for London areas. Extra fees will apply.
