Personal shopper/fashion consultant

15


15 per hour - - Posted Jul 31, 2017

I can go shopping with you for any type of clothing you need. I am fun to shop with and have a keen sense of fashion. I've been working as a seamstress/tailor for 10 years and have experience with what looks best on different body types.
I also know how to look for good deals if that's something of interest to you.
I can help shop for men, women, or children.
Are you needing a new suit or blouse for work? Or maybe you don't know what silhouettes look best on your frame? Do you need an expert opinion from a tailor while you shop, so you know what can be altered before you buy? Need to revamp or update your wardrobe?
Send me a message if you have questions or want to make a deal/trade!
Let's get some coffee and go shopping!

About Ruby Lindell

I am an artist and seamstress in the Kansas City, MO area. I graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2007, but also studied Fashion Design at Stephens College for 2.5 years before that. I have... been doing professional clothing alterations for 11 years, and making art sparingly on the side. My goal is to 1) get more into teaching sewing, 2) make art more often, and 3) make parody music videos for youtube! My very first music video can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/4JKd3M4NmN8 AND my first parody song is here: https://soundcloud.com/ruby-lindell/cranky-fancy-parodyshow more
