What Is Made-to-Order Clothing, and Why Does Panchi Make Every Piece This Way?

Asymmetrical sleeveless co-ord set by Panchi by Anupam

Made-to-order clothing is clothing that is stitched only after a customer places an order. Instead of producing large batches in advance and hoping they sell, the maker cuts and sews each piece for the person who ordered it. At Panchi by Anupam, every single piece is made this way.

How made-to-order works

When you order a piece from Panchi, our team begins working on it. It is cut, stitched and finished in your chosen size, then carefully checked and shipped to you. Because the garment is made for you, it takes a little longer to arrive than something pulled off a warehouse shelf, but it is made with you in mind from the first cut.

Why we chose made-to-order

1. A better fit for more bodies

Mass-produced clothing is often made in a narrow range of sizes. Making each piece to order lets us offer every design in sizes XS to 10XL, so women of all shapes and sizes can wear the same thoughtfully designed pieces.

2. Less waste

When clothes are made in advance, unsold stock can end up discounted, stored or thrown away. By producing only what is needed, we take a slower, more mindful approach to fashion.

3. More care in every detail

Working on fewer pieces at a time means more attention goes into each one, from the choice of breathable fabrics to the finishing details that make a garment feel personal.

What to expect when you order

  • Your piece is made after you order, so allow a little extra time before it ships.
  • You will receive an email when your order is confirmed and again when it ships, with tracking details.
  • Need to change your size or delivery address? Contact us before your order ships and we will update it.

Frequently asked questions

Is made-to-order clothing better quality?

Made-to-order pieces are cut and finished individually, which allows more attention to detail than large production runs. At Panchi, every piece is checked before it is shipped.

Why does made-to-order clothing take longer to arrive?

Because the garment is stitched after you order it rather than taken from existing stock. The extra time is spent making your piece.

Can I cancel a made-to-order piece?

As production begins as soon as your order is placed, Panchi orders cannot be cancelled once placed. You can request a size or address change before shipping. See our Cancellation Policy.
