Dressmaker / Seamstress

Dressmaker / Seamstress:

As a seamstress, you are responsible for the creation of the designer’s ideas. Dressmaking is a very creative job and once you are known in your field you can work as a freelance dressmaker, working at fashion shows and getting to try your hand at creating a range of designs and styles. A fashion degree or fashion design course is the best way to start towards both jobs, as it is the perfect opportunity to learn the necessary techniques as well as getting advice from people in the industry. Work experience placements are often part of a fashion degree and are a good way of building up contacts that may be useful at the end of your course.
