Rococo Bebe is developing a new collection of modest breastfeeding clothing, including nursing dresses, breastfeeding covers and future maternity products.
We have received our first physical samples and are looking for an experienced local pattern maker and sample machinist to help us professionally refine them before manufacturing.
This is a hands-on role. We need someone who can physically inspect, pin, cut, alter and preferably sew our samples—not someone who only provides sketches or digital designs.
Responsibilities will include:
- Reviewing physical garment samples in person
- Conducting fittings and identifying fit, cut and proportion issues
- Pinning and altering samples to demonstrate the correct fit
- Correcting garment patterns, lengths, shapes and measurements
- Improving concealed breastfeeding access, zippers and closures
- Advising on suitable fabrics, stretch, opacity, weight and drape
- Reviewing garment construction, seams and finishing
- Sewing or assisting with improved local prototypes where required
- Preparing accurate patterns, measurements and correction notes
- Creating clear instructions that our overseas manufacturer can follow
- Assisting with future RB Mama dresses and nursing products
The ideal applicant will have:
- Professional women’s-wear pattern-making experience
- Strong sewing and sample-making skills
- Experience fitting and altering garments
- Knowledge of stretch fabrics and garment construction
- The ability to translate ideas into production-ready patterns and samples
- Experience with modest wear, maternity wear or nursing clothing is highly preferred
- Clear communication and strong attention to detail
This will begin as a paid freelance project reviewing our current dress and nursing-cover samples, with the potential for ongoing work across future RB Mama products.
