Reagen Varross is a British haute couture house dedicated to preserving traditional craftsmanship while creating contemporary couture garments for a private international clientele.

We are looking for an exceptionally skilled couture seamstress to join the atelier on a flexible basis initially. This role would suit someone who thrives on craftsmanship, precision and attention to detail, and enjoys working on one-of-a-kind garments rather than production pieces.

Responsibilities

• Construct complete couture garments from initial toile through to final fitting.
• Drape directly on the stand.
• Execute immaculate hand finishing using traditional couture techniques.
• Work confidently with delicate luxury fabrics including silk, chiffon, organza, lace and wool.
• Assist with pattern adaptation and garment development.
• Carry out couture alterations and refinements throughout fittings.
• Apply embellishments by hand, including crystals, feathers, lace appliqué and embroidery where required.
• Maintain exceptional standards of finishing both inside and outside every garment.
• Proven experience constructing high-end couture or luxury eveningwear.
• Excellent draping and garment construction skills.
• Outstanding hand sewing ability.
• Strong understanding of couture finishing techniques.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Meticulous attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship.
• Calm, organised and able to manage multiple projects.
• Experience within a couture or luxury fashion house.
• Pattern cutting experience.
• Experience working directly with private clients during fittings.

The Opportunity

This is a flexible position that can be tailored to the right candidate. We are open to freelance, part-time or project-based arrangements depending on experience and availability. There is also potential for full time depending on the skill level but we need to find the right candidate to build the role around them.

You’ll become part of a growing British couture house where quality always takes precedence over quantity. Every garment is individually crafted, and every detail matters.

If you believe you have the craftsmanship and passion for true couture, we’d love to hear from you.
