Recommendations for Seamstresses
I’m looking to have a simple kimono-style dressing gown made using a bolt of fabric I bought.
Could you share your experiences and recommend any seamstresses who specialize in creating garments rather than just alterations? Thanks!
Here are a few suggestions to help you find a good seamstress for your kimono-style dressing gown:
Local Fabric Stores: Many fabric stores have bulletin boards with business cards or recommendations for seamstresses. They often know skilled professionals who work with garments rather than just alterations.
Online Marketplaces: Websites like Etsy or local Facebook groups often feature seamstresses who take custom orders. Check their reviews and previous work for quality assurance.
Word of Mouth: Ask friends or family if they can recommend someone they’ve had a positive experience with for custom garments.
Tailoring Services: Some tailoring shops also offer custom garment construction. It’s worth calling to see if they can accommodate your request.
Sewing Communities: Look for local sewing or crafting groups on social media platforms like Meetup or Facebook. You can ask for recommendations from people who have experience with custom seamstresses.
Before making a decision, it’s a good idea to discuss your project with the seamstress, ask to see examples of their work, and ensure they can work with the type of fabric you have. Good luck with your kimono gown!
