The intensive course in Women’s Tailoring Techniques is an immersion in the “wisdom of the hands,” designed for those who understand that the true quality of a garment lies in its invisible details. In a fast-paced industry, this workshop offers the necessary time to learn the art of the impeccable finish, where technical construction meets the sensitivity of the gesture. During the training week, participants work on the creation of a sheath dress, tackling high-complexity tailoring challenges: from applying “incrustation” lace (a refined technique requiring millimeter precision) to managing invisible zippers, through to the construction of bias-cut straps and masterfully executed hems. It is a journey that celebrates manufacturing excellence, teaching not only how to sew, but how to construct a garment with the logic of haute couture, where the inside must be as beautiful as the outside.
Who is this course suitable for?
This course is designed for a diverse audience united by the pursuit of constructive excellence. It is aimed at industry professionals wishing to refine their technique in high-end finishing, fashion design students who need to elevate the quality of their prototypes, and enthusiasts with a good foundation in garment making who want to professionalize their method. It is the ideal course for those who want to move beyond standardized manufacturing and learn the secrets of sartorial craftsmanship, acquiring the fine manual skills that distinguish an industrial garment from a tailored one.
What are the career prospects?
The skills acquired in this course represent a fundamental asset for operating in the luxury and high-end prêt-à-porter segments. Knowing how to manage complex finishes and delicate materials is a key competency for roles such as the sample seamstress, the garment technician, and the prototypist. Furthermore, for designers, possessing this know-how means having total control over the creative process, enabling them to engage as equals with workshops and ensuring that the aesthetic vision is not compromised by technical limitations. It is a specialization that adds tangible and immediate value to one’s professional profile.

The course lasts one week and includes a total of 25 training hours.
