Justin Avery

JRA Designs & Alterations

Twenty nine years in the garment construction industry. I began in Berkeley, Ca. teaching myself the art. I then attended UC Santa Barbara and moved on to earn a degree from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), Log Angeles. My areas of expertise include and are not limited to the following: pattern drafting, design and construction, general alterations, reconstructions, couture, formal dresses and costuming.

My philosophy is simply to make the clothes fit the woman and not to make the woman fit the clothes. Fashion is to be used as a means of expression and creativity,not a standard of life or a measure of weight.
