For bespoke tailors
Bomble for Bespoke Tailors
A bespoke tailor runs on memory — every client's measurements, the way they like a shoulder, what they ordered last time, what they still owe. Bomble holds all of it in one place you can reach from the bench or the phone in your pocket.
Updated 19 June 2026
The short answer
For a solo or small maker, the whole business lives in your head and a few notebooks — and that is exactly what fails as the book grows and clients come back. Bomble keeps a full client record with 22 stored measurements, preferences and history, tracks each commission's deadline, deposit and balance, and lets you move work through your own stages. It is mobile-responsive so it works from the bench or on the road, and it starts with a 3-day free trial, no card. It was built inside a working couture atelier, so it fits how bespoke work actually runs.
Your memory, written down at last
A bespoke tailor's edge is memory. You remember that this client likes a higher armhole, that he is a half-size off the chart through the chest, that the last jacket needed the sleeve shortened twice. That memory is the relationship — and it is also the single point of failure, because the day it slips, a returning client feels like a stranger.
Bomble turns that memory into a record. Each client holds 22 body measurements in centimetres, grouped by anatomy, taken once and reused on every commission, with per-order overrides when a particular garment calls for it. The client record also carries phone, WhatsApp, address, type, a VIP tier, source, the year they became a client, a photo and free-form notes — the place to keep the preferences that make the work yours.
- 22 stored measurements per client, grouped by anatomy, reused across commissions.
- Per-order measurement overrides for the garment that needs them.
- Client notes for preferences, plus phone, WhatsApp, address and a photo.
- Tier (VIP), type, source and "client since" year to remember who matters and how they found you.
Deposits and balances, without the awkward maths
Bespoke work runs on deposits, and when you are the cutter, the fitter and the bookkeeper, the money is the part that slips. Bomble records the payment kind — deposit or full — logs each payment with its amount, method, note and date, and recalculates the outstanding balance live against the price, so you always know who still owes before a garment goes out.
When it is time to ask, there is a payment-reminder message template that includes the balance, sent by email or as a WhatsApp deep link straight from the order — the same WhatsApp you already use with clients. A simple finance view rolls it all up: booked, collected, outstanding, and collected this month.
- Payment kind (deposit or full) and each payment logged with method and date.
- Outstanding balance recalculated live against the price.
- A payment-reminder template carrying the balance, by email or WhatsApp.
- A finance view: booked, collected, outstanding and collected this month.
Repeat commissions that pick up where you left off
The best bespoke clients come back — for the next suit, the next shirt, the wedding party. The value of that loyalty is partly that you do not start from zero: the measurements are on file, the preferences are noted, and you can see what they ordered and what it was worth.
Because each client's measurements and notes persist, a repeat commission begins with their profile already filled in. A global search finds a client, an order by number, notes or product in seconds, and the Top Clients report shows who your best clients are by collected revenue — so the people who keep coming back are easy to recognise and easy to look after.
- Stored measurements and notes carry over, so a repeat order starts pre-filled.
- Global search across clients, orders, products and notes to find anyone fast.
- A Top Clients report by collected revenue to recognise your best customers.
- Order notes and reference images kept per garment for a full commission history.
Built to work the way one maker works
A solo tailor does not want an enterprise rollout. You want something you can open at the bench, at a fitting, or on the train to a client visit. Bomble is a web app and mobile-responsive, so the same record is on the laptop and the phone in your pocket — measurements taken at a fitting are saved where the order already lives.
You set up only what you need: define your own production stages and move each commission through them with a clear per-order status, flag a rush job, and let the dashboard surface what is overdue, due soon or has a fitting today. Signup creates your atelier on a 3-day free trial with no card, and seeds sample data you can explore safely and then clear when you are ready to make it yours.
- Web app, mobile-responsive — same record on the bench, at a fitting, on the road.
- Your own production stages with per-order status, and Rush/Priority flags.
- A dashboard that surfaces overdue, due-soon and fitting-today items.
- 3-day free trial, no card, with clearable sample data to learn on.

Every bridal order carries a date that will not move. Bomble is built so the gown, the fittings, the alterations and the balance all stay tied to that date — and the system, not your memory, watches the calendar.
Bomble for Couture Houses
A couture house is not one order at a time — it is many gowns in motion, several cutters and seamstresses working in parallel, and handoffs that must not drop. Bomble gives the whole house one production board and one shared record.
Bomble for Embroidery Studios
Bomble was built inside a working couture atelier, but its bones — custom commissions, multi-stage handwork, material stock and deposits against deadlines — fit an embroidery studio just as well. Here is how it maps to your bench.
Bomble for Leather Goods Makers
Bomble was built inside a working couture atelier, but its core — bespoke orders moving through cutting, stitching and finishing, with material stock and deposits against deadlines — fits a leather workshop just as naturally. Here is the honest map.
