Two Dresses — Construction Only for a Community Fashion Show

We need two dresses sewn from fabric and trims we'll provide, following clear written instructions for each. This is straightforward construction work, no design work or fabric sourcing required, pattern will need to be drafted to the measurements we provide.

Both pieces are for a one off community fashion show, worn once each. They don't need couture level finishing, clean, well made garments that hold their shape are exactly what we need.

What we provide, for each dress:

All fabric, lining, trims, and closures, shipped directly to you
A clear written spec, fabric, structure, closure type, finishing notes
A reference image of the design

What we need from you:

Construction of both pieces from the materials and instructions provided
Basic communication, photos of sketches and progress along the way for documentation
Delivery of both by 20th September

This is a lovely, low pressure project for a genuinely good cause, the show features original fashion designs by children aged 8 to 13, shown on a runway with professional photography for a published book. One dress is a graduated blue to purple evening gown with a fitted waist. The other is a simple, elegant black column dress

Beyond the fee, you'll be credited by name in the published hardback book and online archive, your garments will be professionally photographed on the runway, you're welcome to attend the show itself, and the pieces will go on to feature in future exhibitions, all genuine, lasting portfolio material.

Budget: £320 for both garments.

Please apply with a couple of examples of finished garments you've made, doesn't need to be formal, just enough to show construction skill.
