DESCRIPTION
Now that the holiday season is upon us it’s time to create and make a simple dress either the Betsy Dress or the dropped Waist Dress.

These 2 styles are very unique and quite flattering! The Betsy dress will feature a yoke and a flared skirt & no sleeve. The Dropped-waist dress was originally created in the 1920’s.

We can’t wait to see what our designer’s choose as their silhouette and their fabric selection!

Choose from an array of romantic florals, simple dots and solid fabrics. As time allows our students can create a unique accessory whether it be a head piece, belt, bag or even jewelry!

Our students [Fashion Designers] start with the sketch (croquis), technical details, choosing and rendering the fabric, learning the proper way to make a pattern, including measuring each other, understanding the importance of this process and the fit of the garment. They learn how to pin and sew using a sewing machine. Then, they sew the entire garment including the final fitting. Finally, for our designers to explore their innermost fashion taste and skills. Our designers team up with other designers for this quite unique and fun experience.

No sewing experience necessary. All fabric, supplies, and use of the sewing machines are included.
