Lace lingerie made to your exact measure
Dew Geyser is a small made-to-measure lingerie atelier in Nankoku, Kochi Prefecture. We make lace bras, briefs and matched sets one at a time, each from a pattern drawn for a single person. Most ready-to-wear lingerie is cut for a standard body and then sold in a size grid, which is why the piece you buy so often fails to match the body you have. Our answer is plain: take eight measurements, choose the lace together, and cut once.
Each piece is made from a personal pattern, cut once measurements have been exchanged and a lace selection confirmed.
We send a discreet measurement guide to the recipient by post, then begin work once measurements are returned.
A commission begins with a message through the contact form. We send a measurement guide with diagrams, and once your measurements are back and the lace is chosen (a sample card is available by post for 1,500 yen, credited to your order) we cut the pattern and start sewing at the bench in Nankoku. Most pieces take three to four weeks from confirmed measurements; bridal sets need six months' notice. One round of adjustments after delivery is part of every order.

How a bespoke piece stands out
Cut to your measurements, not a standard size
We take eight body measurements before cutting a single piece of lace. The result fits the way ready-to-wear simply cannot, sitting flat against the skin without gaps or pulling.
French and Japanese lace, sourced carefully
The lace we use comes from two sources: a long-established lace mill in the Calais region and a specialty textile supplier in Nishiki, Kyoto. Both are chosen for hand and drape, not price.
One atelier, one maker
Every order is cut, sewn and finished at one bench in the Nankoku atelier. There is no production line, and each piece takes between three and six days of focused work.
Adjustments included as standard
If something does not sit right after delivery, we alter it. One round of adjustments is included in every order, no questions asked.
Seasonal lace selections
The lace palette changes four times a year. Autumn brings deeper ivory, charcoal, and burgundy options alongside the year-round whites and blacks.
Discreet packaging, always
Every order ships in a plain outer box with no branding visible from the outside. The inner presentation box is kept for keepsakes or gifting.

Common questions
Q.How do I take my own measurements accurately?
We send a detailed measurement guide with diagrams when you make an enquiry. It covers the eight measurements we need: bust, underbust, waist, hip, torso length, shoulder width, and two cup-related measurements. Most clients find it straightforward with a soft tape measure and a mirror. If you are unsure about any step, we go through it by message.
Q.What is the lead time for a standard order?
Most bespoke pieces take three to four weeks from the point when measurements and lace selection are confirmed. Bridal commissions have a longer lead time and we ask that enquiries arrive at least six months before the wedding date. We state the current lead time honestly at the start of every conversation.
