About the role

Essense of Australia is seeking an experienced sewist to work on an hourly on-call/independent vendor basis at our Lenexa, Kansas headquarters. The role requires availability on short notice (usually 1-3 days) and involves bridal gown alterations and repairs. Responsibilities include replacing hanger loops, stitching buttons, ensuring seamless tacking, and adjusting boning or bust cups. Experience with lace placement and stain removal is needed.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
