Expected duration: 1 - 2 weeks I am seeking an individual skilled in sourcing specialized fabrics to assist in finding materials for a one-of-a-kind couture wedding gown. References images showcase intricate embellishments using silk, mesh, beads and other ornate details. Successful bidder will have strong connections within textile industry, specifically with suppliers able to produce couture-quality materials suitable for high-end bridal wear. Fabric must exhibit aesthetic matching intricate designs seen in pictures, featuring delicate beading, appliques and other ornate adornments fused onto silk and mesh substrates. Successful sourcing of materials sufficient to construct full-length gown as well as samples for fit/design consultations is expected. Bidder should demonstrate proven track record working with specialty textiles and have nuanced understanding of textile development process from concept to finished product. Compensation negotiable based on experience and services offered. Looking forward to reviewing portfolio highlighting past fabric sourcing projects, industry contacts and overall qualifications for this specialized task that will make a bride's fashion dreams come true on her special day.
