 The tailoring courses have been planned to meet the requirements of those who wish to study traditional Italian tailoring techniques at various levels of expertise, and with the possibility of customizing curricula programs according to personal necessity. These courses are focussed on acquiring professional tailoring skills. They are based on a practical hands-on approach for learning traditional hand-tailoring techniques in cutting and making up, to create a variety of different garments. Course programs can be customized according to previous acquired experience. They range from basic techniques to specialised tailoring for women's, men's, and children's clothing and historical costumes.
