Part SEVEN: A Style is Born

Blog seven header


The fabric has been cut.  Now all the pieces need to be sewn together.  Remember how many different prints and sizes?  Well, the sewers use the cut tickets to figure out what goes where.  All the sizes are bundled and organized correctly.

Often we will have 3-4 sewers working on ONE style at a time.  One person will sew the bodices, another person sews all the skirts together, a third person sews the finished pieces together to create the dress.
