Is a fashion designer a dressmaker?

The bottom line, a dressmaker doesn’t design, just sews, while a fashion designer does everything from the beginning to the end.

Yes, some modern designers only draw their creations and skip the sewing process but the majority of fashion designers do all of the work as they’re supposed to.
