About this video

The Gazette team visits a Vienna haberdashery specializing in bespoke dressing gowns and documents the complete custom tailoring process. From initial measurements through fabric selection, design customization, and fitting adjustments, the team demonstrates how a master tailor creates a personalized dressing gown with details like silk linings, cotton velvet collars, piping, quilting, frog closures, and monogramming.
