The atelier

Four people, one long table

Muslin was opened by Ilse Varga after twelve years of cutting patterns for other houses. We make around sixty dresses a year, and every one of them is sewn in this room.

Ilse Varga, founder

"A dress should feel finished on the inside first."

She trained as a pattern cutter and still drafts every pattern herself. She believes most dresses go wrong in the first week, not the last, which is why the muslin fitting matters more to her than any embroidery.
