Job Summary
Join Aesthetically Sew as a Studio Assistant supporting alterations and fittings within a growing bridal and formalwear studio. This role is ideal for someone with foundational sewing skills who is detail-oriented, reliable, and interested in gaining hands-on experience in garment work and client fittings.
Aesthetically Sew specializes in bridal and formalwear alterations and customizations, blending precision alterations with a refined, design-minded approach to fit and detail. We are not a traditional alterations shop — we offer a more personalized, boutique-style experience where each client is guided through a one-on-one process.
Our work combines creativity with practicality, allowing us to not only perfect the fit of a garment, but also thoughtfully enhance it through customizations such as sleeve additions, structural adjustments, and other fashion-driven details. We focus on creating an environment that feels calm, elevated, and welcoming, where clients feel taken care of throughout the process.
You will work closely with the owner to support garment preparation, assist with fittings, and help maintain the overall flow of the studio. This role is well-suited for someone who enjoys working with garments, values attention to detail, and wants to grow within a creative, service-focused environment.
