The Build Up
This is the “Build Up” Masterclass. You will change a strapless dress into a dress with a full shoulder, neckline and sleeve. Many brides want more modesty for their wedding gowns. Sometimes they have religious requirements, sometimes it’s just a personal preference. There is a big visual difference between a professional build up and an amateur job. A bad build up hurts my eyes. I don’t feel I can teach this skill online. There are too many nuances to the build up and that’s why we are in person working on this together.
The class is limited to 6 students so that I can give the one on one time each student will need in order to learn this advanced sewing skill.
Whats Included?
The rooms are all in the same large cabin. No partners included during this retreat. The cabin is a great place to do this workshop with plenty of room.
The Anderson Alterations Academy will also provide muslin, binding, patterns, dress forms, tables, ironing boards and irons. Also, video instructions will be shown after the class. These videos will be available to the students after the class at the online Academy to refer back to as often as you need.
