Hi there!
I'm Brooks Ann Camper.
I’m a former professional costumer and bridalwear couturier who teaches custom garment sewing to the sew-curious.
As seen on:
Brooks Ann Camper's offerings include:
Custom Sewing eCourses
Want to make Size-YOU clothing? Brooks Ann Camper teaches comprehensive eCourses where you’ll learn all the brainy details of her unique approach to creating custom clothing- guided completely by your body and your brain (instead of someone else’s size and design).
Even as a beginner, you’ll learn to design, draft, sew, and complete custom-fit clothing with personal guidance from Brooks Ann and an online community of classmates.
A Couture Sewing Blog
Follow the couture process post-by-post as each heirloom-quality custom wedding dress is created, as well as other interesting topics related to custom sewing, custom patternmaking, and personal stories shared with the sewing community.
Focused on teaching, Brooks Ann is not currently accepting bridal clients. Enjoy looking around!
Custom-Designed & Thoughtfully Crafted Bridalwear
Brooks Ann Camper’s couture bridal wear is a fusion of clever design and beautiful execution. Each dress is a thoughtful collaboration between the designer and the bride celebrating the bride’s unique beauty, style, personality, and wedding day.
Each heirloom-quality dress is handmade locally, one at a time, using high-qualty, locally purchased, natural fiber, fine fabrics.
