Look out, Vivienne Westwood! It’s time to strut your stitchy stuff, as we proudly announce the launch of our second Dressmaker of the Year competition. Following the massive success of our first campaign, which inspired over 1,200 entries, we want all you DIY fashion fans to show us what you’re made of, with six categories and all kinds of couture possibilities at your fingertips.
How to enter: Simply take a clear photo of your garment against a plain white background and enter it below. You can include up to five shots of your garment to show any details if you like, and you’ll also get a chance to tell us a little of the story of your make. Contestants can enter each category, with multiple entries if they wish, but each entry must be a different make. All entries must be received by 9th March 2018.
