Is it possible to make money out of designing wedding dresses?

wedding dresses with color and design image

Laura

I love to design wedding dresses. I have many different designs that i have already done and have many more ideas. At the moment I do this as a hobby but i would like to turn it into more.
PS...I cannot sew so i cannot make the dresses that i design and i think that this is a real shame

Answer
I see you are a fashion designer. You can design good dress and you can make money definitely. The amazing thing about fashion, is that styles are constantly recycled. Though the modern bride circa 2013 may still want a long sleeved, long train ball gown. Fashions changed from gowns of color to ones of white, or a variation of white, but since it wasn't a practical shade for most purposes, blue became another favorite.

How easy/hard is it to become a wedding dress designer?

I am looking at a career change and since I have spent so much time looking at and designing dresses (especially wedding dresses) I was wondering how hard it would be to get into the industry?

I would plan on doing a course to help with my sewing skills etc. Any information and/or help from dress designers (or people who know dress designers) would be greatly appreciated!

Answer
It depends how big you want to be, as a designer.
Colour knowledge and accessories isn't all you need.
A sewing course is a good start, but it may just qualify you as a seamstress, and what you really need is a fashion design course. There are so many aspects to design that the general public do not understand, and you really need to spend time developing other skills.
