The Dressmaker
Angeline Cuming
Ready to wear clothing that is sweet, simple, fun and flatter Hi, I’m Angeline, The Dressmaker!
The Dressmaker began in 2014 as a way for me to try my hand at starting my own business and becoming a fashion designer. It also served as a solution to some of the problems I’d always had with the fashion industry: fit! Things rarely fit me right, there had to be a better way. I experimented with a few designs and fabrics and finally settled on a silhouette that was easy to wear and easy to look

Our Story
Welcome, I'm The Dressmaker!
After years of frustration with the fashion industry and it's ability to turn a simple piece of clothing into a judgmental dictator of self worth, I decided to have a go at making things better. I quit my day job and went head first into studying dressmaking and the art of making a comfortable, beautiful garment. I knew that I wanted to make a garment that was easy to wear and easy to look great in, so I decided on a silhouette that I thought to be nearly universally flattering and decided on a 'no zipper, no button' policy; all elastic waist and stretchy fabric, all the time! It took close to a year of studying and several hideous test garments made of old bed sheets, but the first Dressmaker collection was finally debuted in the winter of 2014.
I believe that clothing should be fun and flattering, not frustrating. We spend a lot of time worrying about whether we'll fit into something or not, when it's not us that needs to fit in.
All dresses are designed, cut and sewn by The Dressmaker in Edmonton, Alberta.
You can find The Dressmaker on Etsy, www.dressmakerdesigns.com, or come see me at one of the markets I'll be attending this year!
Thank you for visiting The Dressmaker
