- Care and Handling:  Expertise in handling luxurious and often delicate fabrics without damaging them.


 3. Customization Skills

- Personalization: Ability to tailor a piece that reflects the wearer's personality and preferences, making each wedding attire unique.

- Adaptability: Skill in altering existing designs to fit or creating entirely new patterns based on individual requests.


4. Experience with Formal Wear

- Structural Knowledge: An understanding of how to construct garments that maintain their shape and elegance throughout the event.

- Aesthetic Sense: A keen eye for proportions, color matching, and the ability to blend traditional and contemporary designs to suit the wedding theme.


5. Client Consultation

- Communication:The ability to listen to and interpret clients' desires accurately, offering professional advice on style, fit, and accessories.

- Service: Providing a high level of customer service, including follow-ups for fittings and adjustments, to ensure client satisfaction.


6. Time Management
