I don't have the tailoring skill myself yet, but here is what I do:
  1. Knowing what you want - gather inspiration or draw them
  2. Finding natural fabric
  • for summer: cotton, silk, muslin
  • for winter: wool or cashmere
  1. Searching 1-2 skilled and reasonably priced tailor, but you need do small things to test their skills and taste first
I even sat there to watch how the tailor made the clothes, and it turned out it's a skill so learnable : measure - cut - sew - adjust 👀
But the whole thing was quite time consuming at first, but then you can make everything you want once you test a few times, real freedom:)

oh yes! also learning how to tell which fabric is natural (and good for what) 👀 this is really important - seeing what's really inside instead of the outside brands/looks.
now I'm onto figuring out how to find the natural dyeing fabric, trying to limit chemicals in my life:)

dyeing fabric? 👀
I think we are missing out on so much fun in figuring out how to get things down thanks to all the click-convenient buying junks.
