The atelier

From first fitting to final stitch

Every piece is tailored, not stocked in sizes. Here is how a custom order moves through the atelier.

01

Consultation

Message us the design you like — from this page or your own idea — and we talk fabric, colour and fit.

02

Measurement

In person at the atelier or by video call, we take your measurements or work from a well-fitted piece you send us.

03

Fitting

A first fitting is arranged before final stitching, so length, sleeve and drape are adjusted to you.

04

Delivery

The finished piece is pressed, packaged, and ready for pickup or delivery across Abu Dhabi.

About Nahr Alhareer

An Abu Dhabi tailoring house, built around fit.

Nahr Alhareer began as a tailoring studio before it became a design house — the abaya and kaftan shapes shown here are the pieces we kept making because clients kept asking for them. We work in small runs of cotton twill, crepe, chiffon and satin, and every order is cut to the person wearing it.

There is no fixed size chart, no rack of stock. Choose a design, tell us your measurements, and we tailor it — as an abaya, a kaftan, or as everyday ladies' wear.
