You strive for the finer things. (Even though the closest thing you’ve got to a doorman is that feral kid who drinks on your stoop.)

For a taste of exclusivity, head to Hunter Dixon’s custom blouse event this afternoon. Just show up and you’ll get a service usually reserved for VIP clients of the New York-based line of whimsical, feminine separates.

Partner Jen Dixon will consult as you pick from silk charmeuse, crepe de chine, and georgette swatches in a host of pretty colors (pink, cranberry, charcoal). Then choose from three flowy styles: three-quarter-length sleeves, ruffled, or tied with a sash. All for the price of one of the off-the-rack shirts.

In four weeks, your sweet top will be ready for you.

No ifs, ands, or butlers.

Hunter Dixon custom blouse event, today, 2-7 p.m., at Sugarcube, 124 North Third Street (215-238-0825 or sugarcube.us). To see styles, go to hunterdixon.com.
