Fellow Fashion Enthusiast
I set this website up because I love designing and making my own clothes, particularly beautiful dresses. Anyone who loves fashion should be able to have the clothes they desire without spending a fortune. That’s why I want to share my dress making knowledge with as many people as possible.
Since you’ve found this website I’m assuming you love making your own clothes as much as I do. The truth is, I’m always on the internet looking for dress making patterns and sewing tips. While doing some research, I stumbled upon a fantastic manuscript by Max Padell.
Mr Padell is one of the most well-known and respected dress makers in recent history. I noticed that most of his work was available and accounted for with the exception of one of his most important pieces of work, ‘Dressmaking Handbook’. Even though it was first published some years ago this book has the best design information I have ever seen.
Here’s just a snippet of what is covered in the 9 chapters:
- Why knowing the basics of dress making and design can save you money and have you looking like you’ve come straight out of Armani.
- Tips to designing beautiful, unique dresses that might just have you earning big $ as the world’s next top designer.
- How to make the perfect dress for your next ‘formal’.
- Learn about style and what’s synonymous between high style and good style. Discover which one is for you.
- What is good taste and how to develop it.
- How to discriminate – weed out the trash and keep the stunners.
- Tips on how to monitor the ‘changing silhouette’ and keep up with the latest trends.
If this is the kind of information that you have been looking for, here’s the good news…
I have contacted the original copyright owners and gained permission to republish Max Padell’s complete work on this website. Although I had to pay to have the manuscript reformatted and published online, dress making is my passion. Therefore, I want to share this book with as many people as possible for free.
The information is second to none and you’ll soon be making your very own, one off designer clothes.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Cheers and Happy Sewing

Why Is Cheap Wholesale Clothing So Inexpensive?
It has only been a few years since the wholesale business gained so much popularity in the trading business. People associated the word "cheap," with the wholesale clothing business, as it is the only thing that comes to mind when one thinks of visiting a nearby wholesale outlet for shopping. Cheap wholesale clothing outlets have definitely won an edge over the contemporary retail stores, which are charging high prices unnecessarily, since time immemorial.
