Let Mary and Q. Contrary custom make and design a wardrobe just for you.
Mary knows her clients appreciate the luxury of convenience and will schedule appointments in store or at the convenience of your home or office. During this meeting, she will get acquainted with your lifestyle, career, the purpose of the clothing, how you like clothes to fit, etc.
During your appointment, you will discuss your wardrobe needs. Mary will consult with you about the latest styles and review top of the line fabric swatches for you to choose from. Do you travel regularly, sweat a lot, give presentations? Do you like to make an entrance and be a trendsetter or do you prefer a simplified wardrobe of a handful of colors? It is important that Mary understands her clients’ needs and preference, to design and custom make clothing they will wear and love.

Privacy first, always

I have been fortunate to work with high-profile clients, and I remain committed to protecting the integrity of their privacy.
For clients that prefer the highest level of privacy during fitting appointments, I offer in-home or after-hours sessions at my store. All of your measurements are taken by me personally. 

During fittings, the photos I need to collaborate with my tailors are always taken from the shoulders down to prevent identification, and unless you provide me with your explicit consent, I will not share any photos for promotional reasons. 

Call me old-fashioned, but I also refuse to use cloud-based tools for my client records to avoid unwanted eyes on their information. Any personal information is stored on a private device and securely kept on premise.
