One-on-One, Start to Finish
Personally Fitted to You
Bespoke wedding, evening, and couture garments by Rita Kleiner — four decades of international craft, now in Ottawa.
The Process
The Art of
Bespoke Fashion
Three unhurried acts. A dress does not come from a pattern — it comes from a conversation, a drawing, and a hand. Ours.
Begin Your Piece- I
Consultation
~60 minutesAn intimate conversation — your vision, your story, your silhouette. We listen before we design. Fabric, cut, occasion, every detail considered.
- II
Sketching
1 – 2 weeksYour ideas translated into sketches. Multiple directions, refined through dialogue until a singular vision emerges — unmistakably yours.
- III
Craftsmanship
6 – 12 weeksMeticulous construction. Precision tailoring. Multiple fittings. Each stitch placed with care, each seam considered, each finish refined by hand.

In Their Words
Every dress has a story.
“Working with Rita was a dream. She listened to every detail I wanted and brought it to life — beyond what I could have imagined.”

Meet the Designer
Rita Kleiner
Forty years
of bespoke craft.
Four decades of international work — trained and practiced abroad alongside some of the leading designers in her field before making Ottawa her atelier. Rita dresses brides and mothers, gala attendees and quiet celebrators, women who want a garment that holds the weight of its occasion.
“A dress is never only fabric. It is the record of a conversation — the one we had, and the one it will have with everyone who sees you in it.”

Shall we
begin?
Consultations are unhurried and by appointment. A phone call is the simplest way to begin — Rita will answer yours.
