3. Bermondsey: Zandra Rhodes’ dressmaker shows you how it’s done

Bright and bold - Zandra Rhodes' dress makers course
Bright and bold – Zandra Rhodes’ dress maker’s course

Are you having the same problem as everyone else? That is, warm weather means leg-baring dresses and skirts are essential but the shops are only stocking winter coats and boots? Well perhaps a dressmaking course taught by Jolanta Cerniauskiene, Zandra Rhodes’ dressmaker is the solution to any wardrobe woes.

The workshop will have you cutting the pattern for an old top, skirt or dress, not to mention teaching a few essential skills including finishing seams and hems and how to insert a zip and waistband.

In true Zandra Rhodes style, you’ll probably leave with something undeniably brighter… we hope, anyway.

83 Bermondsey Street, London SE1 3XF, Saturdays, 24 and 31 August / 11.00-16.30. £160 The course price also includes entry to The Zandra Rhodes exhibition. Places are limited phone 020 7407 8664 or book online
