School of Couture

The Art of the Basic Block

You will be guided through the creation of your personalised Basic Block, a set of patterns developed uniquely to fit your body. Created using your own measurements, your Basic Block will allow you to create custom clothing to fit and flatter. Using a system formulated alongside a mathematician and grounded in high-end Russian couture principals, the Basic Block is an invaluable tool that will revolutionise the way you create clothing.

Courses to Suit Every Level

From the very beginner to the advanced expert, the School of Couture welcomes every level of skill into our classes. Classes are intimate in order for each student to gain individual attention. Interstate and international students are supported through the provision of sewing machines and specialised tools. Kits are available for purchase if desired, with exclusive access to imported fabrics and laces available.
