What are the career options for fashion designing and tailoring?
This step is a must if you are passionate about pursuing a career in the fashion
field.
The second idea of success comes down to money - how much you've
made while doing it all. Fashion is a business with sustainable and
creative ideas and it should give you a profit with a good reputation.
In my opinion, there are two types of success as a fashion designer. The
first includes your ideas, artistic view, seeing the fashion history
bringing a sustainable change to it and learning new fashion all the way.
I know you are passionate about fashion, so I'm going to give you a

What are the tools we use in FD and tailoring?
These tools are basic for self learners and also for fashion students:
1.Sketching Tools:

modern designers to create digital sketches using software like Adobe

and adjust patterns. Initially we can practice with our own
