Talented Seamstress to sew a lace formal dress

$350

Dover Heights NSW, Australia

11th Mar 2026

I am looking for a talented, attention to detail seamstress to sew a design of mine in lace fabric. The original dress is sandwash satin silk. You will be provided with the sample as well as the cut pattern pieces and a spec sheet to sew the dress. I need it completed before the 21st of March. Pattern pieces have not been cut yet so if you are comfortable cutting them this will speed up the process. You will of course be paid for the extra time for cutting. I need this dress to be completed with attention to detail as I have a high end brand where the work needs to reflect this. The images show the original sample in sandwash satin silk.
