Childrenswear Occasionwear Developer:
Elizabeth Montgomery
Completed a diploma in childrenswear design, then learned the day-to-day work in a small clothing business. Much of the work involves softening seams inside party dresses, with reviewing flower-girl dress samples taking up the rest of a typical project. Builds a little review time into the schedule for changes that only emerge in practice. Over 23 years in the trade, the focus has narrowed to dresses and skirts. Children need room to sit on the floor.
