The Path

A foundation in classical construction

Yevheniia trained formally in garment construction and pattern-making, and holds a specialist diploma in textile engineering — evaluated in the United States as the equivalent of a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in the field. Her early years were spent as a seamstress, tailor and cutter, learning the craft from the inside out.

She built a private practice around made-to-measure and bespoke garments over many years before moving to New York, where she works in garment construction.

A tailoring discipline

Her method draws on the classical German cutting system of M. Müller & Sohn, Italian tailoring, and the architectural pattern-making of the Japanese Pattern Magic school. This grounding in structure — how a garment is built, not only how it looks — is what allows a dress to fit cleanly, move well and last.

Experience across disciplines

Alongside private dressmaking, Yevheniia has experience in complex costume and garment construction for New York's theatrical and entertainment industry — work that demands precision, speed and the ability to realise an ambitious design faithfully. That rigor is carried into every private, made-to-measure piece she makes.

Professional review work

In 2025 Yevheniia was invited by Theatre Design & Technology — the official journal of the U.S. Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT) — to review a scholarly book on the craft: the Routledge monograph Costumers at Work by Madeline Taylor. Her review was published in the journal's 2026 issue (Vol. 62, No. 2). Read the review →
