I have a duvet cover I want to give to a seamstress to make smaller.

Do you have to leave room at the seam for the duvet to fit in?

I dont know how to explain my question - does it need some depth, or its just sewn at the sides to a certain measurement?

I’m doing the exact thing. Taking in a duvet cover, to make it small for my toddlers.
The duvet measures 36 inches, and I’m giving it 4 inches for the fluffiness, so duvet cover will be 40 inches.

not that you have to somehow (I dont know how) leave some depth so the duvet should fit....

Theoretically a gusset would work, like a strip of fabric all around, but I've never seen a duvet cover like that. That's more for cushions or other things that are stuffed firmly, while a duvet is fluffier.
