حِرفة Craft
The fabric decides the cut.
We start with the fabric, not the sketch. A crepe that falls straight needs a different seam than a silk that catches light — so every piece here begins on the cutting table with the material already decided, and the design follows what it can actually do.

Fabric & care
The practical answers, before you ask.
Concept notes, written the way the atelier would write them.
Composition
Crepe pieces: polyester crepe, opaque in a single layer. Silk pieces: mulberry silk crepe de chine, always fully lined. Embroidery: cotton thread on the crepe itself.
Care
Hand wash cold or dry clean; silk and embroidered pieces dry clean only. Never tumble dry. Iron embroidery on the reverse at low heat.
Sizing
Made to order in four lengths (132–147 cm) and sizes S to XXL. A live atelier would send a measurement guide with its first reply.
Delivery
A live atelier like this one would quote 7–10 working days to make a piece and would ship from Cairo. This concept takes no orders.
14 pattern pieces. One abaya.
The Night Crepe Abaya is cut from fourteen pattern pieces. Splitting the front and back into narrower panels lets each one follow the grain, so the crepe falls straight from the shoulder instead of pulling across it.

Three notes from clients
Fictional quotes, written for this concept.
I asked for the Night Crepe in the longest length, 147 cm, and it arrived exactly that long.
The embroidery on the Trim Occasion Set matched the swatch photo thread for thread.
The care notes were specific enough that the silk came back from its first dry clean looking new.
