Done Lindsay Adler - DIY Dressmaking for Photographers

In this class Lindsay Adler will demonstrate how to make creative DIY dresses easily and affordably for fantastic high fashion results!

about this class
What if you could create custom dresses and couture-inspired looks yourself, with no formal training and without breaking the bank?

That is what DIY Dressmaking for Photographers is all about!

Creating gorgeous portrait and fashion photos with stylish looking outfits doesn’t have to be expensive…it just has to look expensive!

Many of the outfits in my own fashion shoots have been sourced from places like the dollar store, thrift shops and fabric stores. I often collaborate with my stylists while on set trying different materials, piecing things together on the fly to create something truly unique.

Join me as I walk you through creating 12 stunning dress designs ranging from elegant and avant garde, to fabulous and sexy. You’ll learn how to cater to your subjects’ needs and body types with simple and effective techniques.

This incredible educational resource consists of:

(1) Step-by-Step Video Tutorial
(2) Dressmaking Companion Guide
(3) Lighting Recipe Guide
(4) Behind the scenes photo shoot of each dress.

Included is a 76 page companion guide that contains links to each piece of fabric and tool required, making it easier for you to prepare each look.

“But Lindsay, I’m not crafty enough to make a dress!

Trust me, I didn’t think I was either until I tried it. You’d be amazed at the results of pinning together a few pieces of fabric!

This class is geared toward beginner designers and I’ve labeled each of our 12 designs with levels of difficulty to help you know where to start your design journey. I’ve included every single step to making the piece, plus the companion guide helps to reinforce the steps with another layer of visual references.

The included 62 page lighting recipe guide is a fantastic bonus, consisting of an example lighting setup for each look to get you inspired and ready to shoot. Each setup includes the exact position of lights, types of modifiers, number of lights, behind the scenes images, lighting diagrams and more so that every question is answered before you even ask it!



Whether you photograph high school seniors, fashion, maternity, or stylized portraiture, you’ll learn techniques that immediately elevate your work.

My hope is that after taking this class you’ll feel inspired to bring this new skill set to your shoots and be able to build your fashion and portrait portfolio with expensive looking pieces, without breaking the bank. No matter where you are, who you photograph, or what your budget, you can be confident that you’ll be creating amazing looking outfits bursting with creativity in no time!

To recap…

• You don’t need to live in a fashion capital to get these looks.
• You don’t need to learn to sew.
• You don’t need a fashion degree.
• You don’t need to buy ‘one of every size’ to suit your client’s needs.
• You don’t need to rent, only to return and rent again for the next shoot.
• You don’t need to break the bank with expensive pieces, stylists or rentals.

So come take a peak at what I created and what you can too in DIY Dressmaking for Photographers!

Please be aware this is not a lighting class. While I do demonstrate on how to light/photograph the end result, this class is specifically about how to make DIY couture dresses/outfits. You will be required to obtain certain materials, such as fabrics and other misc tools (pins, microstich etc) if you wish to create the outfits demonstrated in this class.
