Sara's New Suit

Here at Mandate, we love to show off a beautiful figure. We also know that the most beautiful figures often don't come in flattened out prefab factory sizes. That's why we offer Opiate, our collection of limited edition reproducible organic confections, made to measure.
For far flung Mandate Cats, Opiate pieces are available cut to order exactly to your measurements as provided via email; we additionally offer support and suggestions if any other small tailoring proves necessary. However, for our New York customers, we're pleased to provide the extra treat of up to two custom fitting sessions here in our studio, so we can oversee the awesomeness of your new ensemble in person.
To give you an idea of how the process works, we took a few candid shots of the super stunning Sara Bender during our first and second fittings for her new Opiate cat and mouse suit. Check out the resulting eye candy below:

I. Measurement Fitting

To take Sara's measurements, and to get an idea of her future ensemble's fit, we asked her to try on a couple similarly shaped pieces from our Mint Collection.
