What is the difference between a designer and a seamstress? I wonder if most people know the answer to that question. I consider myself to be both because I am able to take a client's needs and ideas and draw them into a sketchbook of ideas to present the client. I then will either drapefabric to make a pattern or use paper to make a pattern using a flat pattern method. A designer sees the project from conception to fruition. A seamstress can use fabric to make a garment using a commercial pattern. She is not necessarily proficient in customizing the fit of the pattern, where a designer should be able to make a garment not only fit perfectly, but know what will be flattering to her client.
A custom designed garment should be more costly than ready-to-wear clothing purchased from a mass marketing retail store. It is designed to be one-of-a-kind, unique just for you and perfectly fit and suited to your body. Attention to detail is the name of the game here. A custom garment is an investment in yourself. Take pride in how you look with beautiful clothes and people you come in contact with will respond to your new attitude of confidence and joy.
