Couture Tailoring

This couture tailoring course focuses on the specialist hand-stitching skills for constructing a tailored woman's jacket.

• Hand canvassing/padding
• Inserting a jetted pocket
• Applying the facing
• Constructing under and top collar
• Constructing a shoulder and inserting a sleeve
