What does a dressmaker do?

A dressmaker is a person whose main job is to make customized clothing for women. However, in modern times, some dressmakers cater to men as well. Historically, dressmakers are known as mantua-makers or a modiste.

What are types of clothing made by a dressmaker?

Dressmakers are capable of handling many different tasks and projects, but their area of expertise is making customized wedding dresses, formal dresses and evening gowns for women. Many dressmakers are also capable of doing hand embroidery, sewing, embellishment, etc.

Will a dressmaker design the dress as well?

No, a dressmaker will not design a dress for you; that’s the main difference between a fashion designer and a dressmaker. A dressmaker creates dresses according to designs that already exist. You can show them a picture of a dress and they will replicate it as close to the original as possible.

Do I need to provide the fabric and embellishments?

No, you won’t have to do that. All you have to do is show a picture of the design. The Dressmaker will guide you on which fabric will be most suitable for the design and what kind of design will be appropriate for the event you plan on wearing it to.

Will the dressmaker visit my home?

Some of them will visit your home for taking measurements, finalizing the dress and delivering it as well.

How much do dressmakers in Polokwane charge?

It depends on the design of the dress, the effort required, and the cost of fabric and embellishments. Make sure to get a quote before you hire a dressmaker.
