a clear brief ready before the session
A better client brief
Review the client's taste, sizes, routine, budget, and references together before recommending a piece.
Collect sizes, optional measurements, brand fit notes, preferred lengths, coverage needs, and shoe comfort.
Combine style directions with favorite outfits, avoided details, colors, and image uploads.
Ask for a total range, item limits, must-buy categories, rental openness, and deadlines.
Four useful starting points
Start with the closest service, then remove questions that will not influence recommendations.
Explore routine, favorite looks, avoided silhouettes, desired impression, and wardrobe goals.
Map what is worn, ignored, missing, or ready to replace.
Anchor the brief to dress code, venue, weather, deadline, comfort, and total budget.
Gather retailer, brand-size, delivery, and substitution preferences for remote sourcing.
Questionnaire workflow
Build around real styling decisions, then share one link before the appointment.
Choose a closet edit, event look, capsule wardrobe, or remote shopping brief.
Lead with goals, group size questions clearly, mark optional measurements, and label units.
Show event, workwear, or virtual-measurement questions only when relevant.
Share the link and flag missing deadlines, sizes, or budget details before the session.
Questionnaire vs loose intake
Messages and discovery calls still matter, but a reusable questionnaire captures comparable details before conversation time is spent.
Field guide
Collect information that changes the styling direction. Explain why you ask, label units, and mark optional details.
Goals and context
Ask why they booked, what feels difficult, and what success would make easier. Include routine, climate, travel, and dress expectations.
Sizes and measurements
Separate labeled sizes from measurements and include units. Ask which brands fit and where garments pull or gap.
Style preferences
Pair style directions with colors, patterns, necklines, lengths, and silhouettes the client likes or avoids.
Comfort and boundaries
Invite fabric sensitivities, coverage needs, mobility considerations, heel limits, fastening difficulties, and care restrictions.
Wardrobe and priorities
Ask which categories are strong, missing, duplicated, or rarely worn. Photos help avoid recommending an existing piece.
Budget and logistics
Collect the total range, item limits, priorities, deadline, location, retailers, and openness to rental, resale, or tailoring.

Practical answers for stylists preparing a clearer client intake.
It is a pre-session intake covering wardrobe goals, daily life, sizes, fit, taste, comfort, deadline, and budget. It creates a shared brief so the consultation can explore context and tradeoffs.
Ask about goals, typical activities, sizes, optional measurements, fit problems, favorite and avoided details, wardrobe priorities, inspiration, care, timing, and budget. Keep questions that affect recommendations.
Separate garment labels from body measurements. State the measurement point and unit, make nonessential measurements optional, and invite brand notes. For virtual work, add measuring instructions.
Yes. Add uploads for favorite outfits, difficult pieces, closets, invitations, or inspiration. Explain what each image should show. Collect product or mood-board links separately.
Explain that the range guides sourcing. Distinguish the total budget from item limits, ask where the client wants to invest or save, and include tailoring, rental, resale, delivery, or accessories when relevant.
Yes. Start with a service selector, then show relevant groups: closet photos for an edit, dress code and date for event styling, work routines for a professional wardrobe, or measurements and delivery details for virtual shopping. Review each route so every client sees a complete but focused intake.
Yes. Makeform is unlimited free for generating, editing, sharing, and collecting responses with your questionnaire. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge; it does not unlock additional response capacity.
Send it after booking with a completion date that leaves review time. Check for missing sizes, unclear deadlines, conflicting preferences, and budget gaps before the appointment, then confirm nuanced details in conversation.
Arrive at the session already knowing the brief.
