Dress Making

The dressmaker is responsible for supervising the development of all garments related to a collection, being able to make last minute changes or interventions, when required by the stylist.

They must be good at stress-management, as they will most likely find themselves improvising in a rush, without the possibility to compromise the quality of their work.

Career Opportunities

The dressmaker can work independently, as part of a company, or by custom orders. They know how to create everything, from a plain shirt to an elegant suit, from a skirt to a coat, from underwear to wedding gowns. It is very important for the dressmaker to know both traditional and more innovative techniques and to implement them within their work.
