I've recently discovered a passion for designing dresses, particularly long gowns. However I'm a beginner in sewing and dressmaking. I want to be able to make dresses and costumes to use in my art photography, yet I feel that I lack the skill to sew elaborate pieces and it would take years to learn that skill. I also have a dream to design my own unique wedding gown one day.
My question is if I have the ability to draw up a picture of a dress, and if I take a course in pattern making, is it easy to find someone to sew it for you? I know a lot of fashion designers and couturers hire other people to do the sewing work for them, but if your just a hobbyist and a member of the public, can you still find a person skilled enough to sew quality garments that you've designed?
