How do I start a custom order?
Begin with a conversation about the item, fit, color, and intended use. Bring reference images or describe what you like. Derby City Knits can help clarify the details and outline possible next steps.
Do I need to provide measurements?
Measurements may help guide the fit of a custom garment. The details needed depend on the design, so ask Derby City Knits which measurements to prepare before moving forward with your idea.
