This class is lead by the amazing Shelby. She went to school and earned a B.A. in Theatre Costume Design; and later went on to get her Patternmaking certification from a tailoring school. She has worked for Teatro Zinzanni of San Francisco, Walt Disney World Costume & Wardrobe, Topsy Turvy Design custom millinery (steampunk originator when that was THE thing), Dark Garden Corsetry, Period Corsets, and a bunch of other side hustle contract work doing belly dance, burlesque & clown costuming. In this class you will learn to construct a pattern specific to your size and then assemble and sew the garment. You will walk away from class with a new mermaid skirt that fits you like a glove!
