We've always been dedicated to appreciating the beauty in every client we meet, and work with them to cultivate a style that embraces their best self. Inclusivity is our watchword; every size, gender, shape, age, orientation, and aesthetic are welcome in our boutiques. In addition to house-made garments and accessories, we carry work from local artists.
We're renowned for our corsets, couture clothing, and wedding ensembles, which provide the utmost in comfort, fit, and design, due to the high degree of customization we offer. We also work with physical therapists and doctors to provide customized orthopedic and post-surgical support for their patients.
Our exceptional quality is due to our years of experience and unique on-site production team. In Hayes Valley are both boutique and workroom. This setup allows us the flexibility of an independent maker with the reliability of full-scale manufacturing. We employ a team of 16 women very specialized in their training: fitters, designers, cutters, stitchers, and drafters. Due to the pandemic we have pivoted, adding a highly comfortable and safe mask to our offerings. We support a program which donates a mask to a front line worker for every Dark Garden mask sold.
