masse: made to measure
saville dress | jersey | $295
Five years ago, designer Melissa Masse had an idea. It was so simple, it was genius– create custom-made clothing for everyday wear.
The inspiration: frustrated friends and family. Like you, they searched in vain for fashion that was well-made and well-tailored. You know, the kind that fits the first time.
“I realized that they certainly couldn’t be the only customers who felt that way,” explained Melissa. Of course, she was right. So she took action.

Melissa’s flagship store on Flores carries her full collection, and it’s unique to Los Angeles. You’ll find it all here, from t-shirts to suitings, and everything is available right off the take. And you’ll hear not a hem or haw if you request an alteration.

Better yet, if you can’t find your size, they’ll custom-make that coveted selection to your liking a rare gem in the black book of many petite customers. But I was personally assured, dear readers, that tailoring is minimal and, when needed, is taken care of locally.
Melissa adds, “Whether you are a studio executive or a starlet, you want to look perfect, and you don’t want to see anyone else in your dress. That’s what we provide!”

I liked the XS Suzanne dress as well as the D292 XS dress. Altering to fit your size is free with a full price purchase, and will cost a bit if the item is on sale (but so worth it). Cashmere can’t be altered –although it may not be needed as the XS sweathers fit like a glove.
