Bridal Alterations Specialist & Sample Machinist (Part-Time, Freelance)
ABOUT UNBRIDLED STUDIO
UNBRIDLED STUDIO is a British bridal brand redefining modern bridalwear through contemporary silhouettes, transformative separates, and an uncompromising approach to craftsmanship. Our collections are underpinned by exceptional fabrication, impeccable cut, and the innovative styling possibilities of each piece.
Since launching in late 2023, UNBRIDLED STUDIO has rapidly established a loyal following among brides seeking a modern interpretation of bridal dressing. Our collections are available through our Liverpool studio and a carefully curated network of UK and international bridal boutiques.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a highly skilled Alterations Specialist & Sample Machinist to join our small but growing team on a part-time, freelance basis (hours to be agreed). The position is available for an immediate start and will initially be remote until our Liverpool studio reopens, in its new larger space, in September 2026, after which the role will become studio based.
This is a varied, hands-on role that combines bridal alterations with sample development. You will work closely with our founder to ensure every garment leaving the studio meets the exceptional standards of quality and craftsmanship that define the UNBRIDLED STUDIO brand.
