On the west coast. Girlfriend and I want to start a fashion company selling fashionable swimsuits, classy dance wear, and a few other things.
My question for biz is, how do we find people to do the jobs we can't do/don't have time for? I've posted jobs on Indeed, craigslist, Monster, and LinkedIn. Only spam bots seem to reply. I've gone to every registered sewing company and fabric stores asking for help and posting jobs. Nothing.
All I need are two or three seamstresses. These people are harder to find than gold.

>Looking for seamstresses
Isn't this the bulk of the work. What are you and your girlfriend going do to, just design the stuff? If that is your plan..... lol. Do the real work if you want the money, faggot. You don't get to start out doing the cushy work.

We design and network for sales. We also have to find fabric manufacturers, which we've done already. We don't have the talent to do seamstress work on a professional level. Yes we can sew. Will it last through 50 washes? Probably not. So no, we can't do it ourselves. I also don't know why I would do it myself when I can afford to pay someone to do it for me.

As one of the most prominent modern designers (RO) said, the best advice for an aspiring designer would be "to get a fucking pattern cutting book".
I, on my behalf, may suggest you kys cuck.

I don't like the fact that you're doing swimwear and dancewear, as I understand it a lot of these upstart fashion companies have to stick to one thing until they establish the brand.
Anyway, where the hell have you been searching... I found these in 2 minutes:

I'll take a look at those places. I was hoping to employee 2 or 3 people but this could still work. Thanks.

I don't think any fashion companies own their own factories, even Prada I think outsources over half of their production (but they would have a lot of quality controls).
Especially for a start-up/young company this is a way better option. I'm not sure how you'll go about making the prototypes, maybe you guys can do that yourselves.
