About the role

Essenseof Australia, an international bridal wholesaler with offices in Lenexa, KS, seeks an experienced sewist for hourly on-call work at our Lenexa headquarters. You will perform bridal gown alterations and repairs with a focus on detail and quick turnaround. Availability on short notice (1-3 days) is required, with compensation commensurate with experience. The role requires replacing hanger and train loops, sewing on buttons, and handling boning, bust cups, and lace placement adjustments.

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.
