01

The four steps of making a dress

Step
In short Every dress follows the same four-stage process, and the quality of your work at each stage shapes the final result.

When a client brings you an order, you work through four stages in sequence before the dress is finished.

  1. Measure take the client's body measurements so the dress will fit correctly.
  2. Sketch draw out the design based on what the client wants.
  3. Cut cut the fabric according to your sketch and measurements.
  4. Sew stitch everything together to complete the finished dress.
