Custom clothing and textile sewing, machine embroidery
Custom clothing means a prom dress, a vyshyvanka or a stage costume — and also curtains, bed linen and machine-embroidered patches. Describe the style and fabric in an order — seamstresses and tailors will send responses. Or find similar items in portfolios and send their maker a request.
Seamstresses and tailors
How much custom sewing costs
What affects the price
How complex the design is
A lining, set-in sleeves, a zipper or a vent and several fittings make a suit take longer and cost more to sew than an elastic-waist skirt.
Fabric and notions
Chiffon, silk and jersey are harder to sew than cotton. You can buy the fabric and notions yourself or leave that to the specialist — then the materials are added to the cost of the work.
Curtains — per meter of stitching
Curtain sewing is often charged per meter of stitching, so the cost depends on the width and drop, how dense the pleats are and the type of curtain tape.
Stitches and the embroidery file
Machine embroidery is charged by stitch count and size, and preparing the design for the embroidery machine — digitizing — is often paid for separately, once.
One item or a batch
In a batch of identical items the price per piece is usually lower than for a single one: the pattern is made and the machine set up for the whole batch.
Prices come from specialists' profiles on Nexperity and update automatically. You agree the final price with the specialist directly.

How to choose a seamstress or tailor
- 1
Items like yours
Look in the portfolio for the kind of item you need: someone who sews evening dresses does not necessarily sew curtains or uniforms. In the photos, take a close look at the seams and edge finishing.
- 2
Measurements and fittings
Ask who takes the measurements, how many fittings there will be and where: in the studio or at your place. For curtains, ask whether someone will come to measure the window and the rail.
- 3
Before you buy fabric
Ask the specialist how much fabric to buy given the bolt width and the print, and also whether it needs pre-shrinking so the finished item does not shrink in the wash.
- 4
Adjustments in the cost
Agree in advance whether adjustments after the last fitting are included in the cost, and how long the whole job will take.
- 5
An embroidery sample
Before a batch, ask for a sample stitched on the same fabric: it shows whether the embroidery puckers the fabric and whether small letters are legible.
What to put in the order
What to sew and how many items — for an adult or for a child
The style in words: silhouette, length, sleeves, fastening — or the pattern name
The clothing size, or for curtains the window width and the drop from rail to floor
Whether you already have the fabric and notions, or they need choosing and buying
For embroidery: the logo size, the number of colors and what to embroider it on
When you need the finished item and where it is convenient for you to try it on
Questions about Nexperity
How Nexperity works — separately for clients and for specialists
For clients
Nothing. Searching for specialists, sending requests, posting orders and receiving responses are free.
No. You agree the price and the payment method with the specialist and pay them directly. Nexperity does not take payments and is not a party to your deal.
A request goes to one specialist — from their profile. An order is posted for everyone: specialists send you responses, and you choose which one to accept.
How the specialist will do the task, a price — fixed, a range, hourly or “on request” — and, optionally, an estimated timeline.
30 days from publication: all that time it is visible in the feed and specialists can send responses. The exact end date and time are shown on the order in your account. From that moment the order is closed and a response can no longer be accepted. You can cancel it earlier, and if no specialist turned up, post a new one.
Yes: you can hide your name and photo in an order. The anonymity lasts until acceptance — the specialist whose response you accept sees your name and photo. The task description is public: anyone visiting the site can read it.
Only after acceptance — when you accept their response or they accept your request. And only the contacts you chose to show.
After acceptance you see the contacts the specialist chose to show, and they see the ones you chose. You can also message on Nexperity when the chat is on: on an order you decide that, on a direct request the specialist does.
Once the work is done, mark the order or the collaboration completed in your account — then you can say whether you recommend the specialist. A review can only be left for a collaboration that happened through Nexperity: one per specialist, which you can change or delete at any time.
For specialists
Nothing for now: this is the free period, and no subscription is needed yet. Nexperity takes no commission on deals — you settle with the client directly.
Sign up, fill in your specialist profile and add your services — each with a category, a description and a price. Once the profile is complete, it appears in search and on the category pages.
Two ways: clients send you requests from your profile, which you can accept or decline; and you see public orders in your categories in your account and can respond to them.
You describe how you will do the task and give a price and, optionally, a timeline. The client compares responses and accepts one.
Contacts set to “Public” are visible to everyone on your profile. A client sees contacts set to “After connection” once you accept their request or they accept your response. “Hidden” ones are not revealed in new connections: a contact already revealed to a client stays visible to them.
Each service has a fixed price, a range, an hourly rate or “on request”. Prices show on your profile and in search results, and you agree the final price with the client.
Through search and the category pages of your services. The order depends on your clients' reviews — how many of them recommend you — and in search also on how well your services match the query.
A photo, a description, your region and way of working — online or in person — your contacts and a portfolio: photos of your work, each with a short caption if you like.
A client leaves a review after completed work, and only for a collaboration through Nexperity: they say whether they recommend you and may add a few words. Each client counts once, however many times you work together.
