Our method is based on a simple and intuitive concept with one aim: to make every kind of clothing. All bases are made freehand without using pre-­built templates or graduated squares. At the end of the course, after creating numerous patterns, students can produce any outfit, ranging from a simple shirt to an elegant suit, from a skirt to a coat, and from underwear to wedding gowns. The Burgo method is both traditional and innovative; the flavor of the ancient tailoring tradition is combined with modern creativity, continually evolving. That’s why the practice and search for materials are fundamental and instrumental to the academic and professional preparation of future tailors. It’s highly important to have constant contact with the teacher, step by step. Each student is followed and advised, always with respect for individuality. For this reason, there cannot be more than 8 students per class.
