Profile

Dorota Bąkowska is a master tailor, a practitioner hailing from the tradition of three generations of tailors and teachers. Although she graduated from a ballet school, she opted for a graceful dance of a needle and thread as her career.

With nearly 30 years of experience, she knows the fashion industry in and out – not only haute couture, but also mass market production, where the quality and timeliness come at a price. Although she began her sewing adventure with making pattern designs on paper, she quickly became fluent in computer design for fashion purposes. Since 2019, she has been collaborating with the “Przekrój” magazine, where she develops patterns and instructions for the Fashion section.

Her biggest passions include teaching, collaborating with creative designers, searching for innovative solutions, and mastering sewing techniques. She favors practicum over theory and everything she teaches has been developed and proven over many years of sewing experience. For her, sewing is an art, which allows people to create their own image and through clothes express not only their needs but also feelings, desires, and moods.
