Description:

We’re hiring a Seamstress Trainee to support garment production in our sewing factory — perfect for someone who enjoys repetition, structure, and building real technical skill in a team setting. You’ll begin by learning how to handle delicate fabrics like chiffon, satin, lace, and tulle with precision and care. You’ll assist in sewing specific garment sections such as sleeves, pockets, collars, or waistbands depending on your station. You’ll help pin garments for fitting under supervision, learning how to read body language and measure for comfort as well as fit. You’ll help with fittings, measuring clients, and making note of necessary adjustments to improve comfort and silhouette. You’ll learn to press and steam garments properly after alterations so they look ready-to-wear when returned to customers. You’ll support quality control by flagging stitching errors, skipped seams, or material flaws before garments move forward. You’ll learn how to follow tech packs, production charts, and standard sizing templates for uniform results. You’ll help organize threads, fabrics, trims, and fasteners to keep the workspace clean and efficient.

Basic Qualifications:

• Consult on fabric choice, style, or custom modifications when asked for input.
• Measure clients and garments accurately to ensure a perfect fit and flattering silhouette.
• Sew, alter, and repair garments by hand or using industrial sewing machines with precision and care.
• Support larger production projects by completing assigned stitching or assembly tasks.
• Use pressing equipment to steam and iron finished pieces for a clean, professional look.

Preferred:

• Able to communicate with designers, tailors, or customers about custom orders or fitting requests.
• Able to make adjustments based on client feedback, garment testing, or quality control.
• Able to handle both delicate fabrics (e.g., silk, chiffon) and heavier materials (e.g., denim, wool).
• Background or passion in sewing, fashion design, costume production, or textile arts.
• Wants to grow into roles like Tailor, Patternmaker, Fashion Designer, or Atelier Lead.

Benefits:

• Quiet music, tea breaks, and clean tables — a calm environment matters.
• There’s pride in every hem, dart, and invisible zipper.
• Opportunities to design, not just sew — your ideas matter here.
• You’ll never be rushed to cut corners — quality over quantity, always.
• We honor old-school skill — your experience speaks louder than any degree.

You’ll gain experience working in a calm but high-stakes environment where timing, trust, and perfection matter. You’ll observe how professional seamstresses balance time, detail, and client requests in a production or custom setting. You’ll gain insight into how bulk orders are fulfilled for uniforms, retail brands, or contract clients. You’ll receive guidance from senior tailors who will teach you how to combine efficiency with precision. You’ll be mentored by experienced industrial seamstresses who will teach you both speed and craftsmanship. You’ll be mentored by bridal specialists who will guide your stitching, posture, and eye for elegance. No experience is required — just a steady hand, respectful presence, and passion for craftsmanship and beauty. If you're ready to stitch characters into reality and dress the drama, we’re ready to train you behind the curtain. If you’re ready to work with lace, patience, and love, we’re ready to train you in the bridal atelier.
