Custom Dressmaking by Ann Vidovic

You do not need to worry about finding fabric for your custom garment. We have
experience sourcing fine fabrics in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and Italy, as well
as numerous internet suppliers. When possible, we purchase fabric wholesale and
pass the savings on to our clients.
Before fabric is purchased, the garment is designed and prepared in cotton muslin.
Once fit and style lines are perfected, the muslin test garment is used to calculate
the yardage needed to complete the design.
A great design will work in a variety of fabrics. Choosing fabric before design limits
design potential and is usually a waste of money.

Pleated chiffon is a marvellous fabric
because it allows the wearer to
gain/lose a reasonable amount of
weight and still achieve great fit.
Pleated fabrics also travel well and
resist wrinkling.

2009 issue of Threads Magazine as a
