Dressmaking Courses

Dressmaking is the foundation of fashion and apparel design. Online courses in dressmaking teach students to create apparel with a professional cut and finish--not just dresses, but also suits, coats, shirt, skirts, and more. Dressmaking courses include training in identifying fibers and fabrics; marking, cutting, and tacking fabric to ensure proper fit; finishing garments; creating patterns; and altering and fitting clothes.

Dressmaking Courses & Programs

A distance learning program in dressmaking allows you to transform your hobby into your career. Training in dressmaking can lead to a career in retail, manufacturing, or apparel design. Many apparel manufacturing jobs are moving overseas, leaving behind an industry skewed toward higher-level design careers. This means that formal education is a crucial factor in landing a dressmaking or fashion design job. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, fashion designers made median annual earnings of $55,840 in May 2004, while the highest-paid ten percent (the well-established designers) earned more than $112,840.
