Although summer still feels far away and the burden of essays is weighing down upon our shoulders, the May Ball season is definitely approaching. And what will you be wearing?
The coming term, Alora Bespoke Dressmaking will be active around Cambridge to offer unique, tailor-made dresses. We work with tailors from Vietnam who use high-quality silk and tafta for their work. They are able to tailor-make your design or alternatively, you can choose from several of the designs and a variety of patterns for your May Ball dress. During a number of sessions in Lent term, we will show the patterns, take measurements and handle orders.
Not only are the tailor-made dresses unique and of high quality, they also support local communities in Hanoi, Vietnam. The project aims to stimulate the work of some of Vietnam's tailors by providing them with a new market for their sales. In addition, all profits of the project will go into a fund for skills training of future tailors.
On this website, we will be displaying a selection of the designs and patterns available. You can also find more information about the background of the project, the tailors and their materials. Finally, we will be updating the website with details of the dates and venues for our walk-in sessions.
Do make sure to check back for our regular updates!
