couturière

High-end clothing maker

A couturière is a woman who designs, makes, or sells high fashion clothing.

The term is French, the feminine form of couturier, and carries connotations of skilled craftsmanship and luxury fashion rather than ordinary dressmaking: The couturière adjusted the gown's silk bodice by hand.
