After college, Maria decided to dressmake her sister's wedding dress to save money and add a personal touch.

The dressmakers worked late into the night to finish the gown for the bride.

The dressmaker adjusted the hem of the wedding gown with practiced hands.

Each spring, Anna dressmakes period gowns for the local theater's productions.

Her passion for dressmaking led her to open a tiny atelier specializing in vintage-inspired gowns.

Her grandmother's old trunk contained patterns and fabrics from decades of dressmakings.

She carefully pressed the curved seam over the dressmaker's ham to ensure a smooth finish.

The costume department ordered several dressmakers' hams to shape the bodices and press the seams.

She opened a small dressmakery in the attic to take orders for bespoke gowns.
