Your customers

Everyone has an occasion

A garden wedding, a night at the opera, a first job interview. Each customer walks in with a wish, a budget and a few things she'd rather not wear.

How it plays

From first sketch to final twirl

The sketchbook: a dress with a rose linen centre front and sage chiffon sides, the customer's wishes on the right page and a shelf of fabrics
Sketch

Design every detail

Pick a bodice, sleeves, collar and skirt in your sketchbook, then drag fabrics straight onto the drawing. Make the whole skirt one cloth, or give each panel its own.

  • Necklines, puff and bishop sleeves, Peter Pan and sailor collars, A-line to mermaid skirts
  • Watch her wishes fill up as you design
  • Keep an eye on the budget, or she'll pay less

Fabrics

Cloth you can almost feel

Hold a bolt to unroll it in the light. Turn it, zoom right into the weave, and see what it does for the dress before you cut.

Sew

Every seam by your hand

Hold to sew and steer the fabric along the line as the needle hums. A neat seam makes a better dress. Prefer to relax? Switch on Auto-sew and let the machine take over.
