For anyone interested in pursuing a love for fashion, I highly recommend the Fashion and Dressmaking course in GTI. I had always not regretted studying fashion when I finished school so when I found this course, I was delighted. I also loved the fact that I didn't need to return to college for another 4 years in order to pursue my dream. The teachers are so nice and all have backgrounds in the fashion industry so the standard of learning is very high. The course is also very varied so you get to learn about the creative process, pattern drafting and dressmaking
