Good news — almost everything is provided by Envy Her Singapore. All fabrics, lace, tulle, sewing materials, design sheets, and tools are included.

We provide upcycled denim, but you are encouraged to bring a pair of your own old or pre-loved jeans to repurpose!
Everything else — machines, mannequins, fabrics, lace, threads, scissors, pins, and design materials — is on us.
