Welcome to the Prima Ballerina Half-Scale Dressmaking class! 👗✨

Greetings, aspiring dressmakers and fashion enthusiasts! My name is Britney King, and I'm the mastermind behind Threadora Gowns. I've honed my expertise in designing half-scale evening gown patterns and am thrilled to share my knowledge with you in this comprehensive sewing course.

As a former solo designer, I faced the challenges of creating full-sized mock-ups, which often demanded more time and resources than necessary. That's why I've tailored (pun intended!) this course to focus on half-scale construction—offering you a chance to refine your skills with less material cost and time commitment. No more the pressure of client expectations or perfecting the fit right off the bat. This course is all about mastering sewing techniques at a comfortable pace.
