The Workshop Everyone in Fashion Wishes They Had Years Ago
Join Our Exclusive 1-Day Professional Fashion Workshop
Most people spend years sewing garments… yet never truly understand why clothing fits correctly — or why it does not.
Garments pull. They twist. They collapse. They feel uncomfortable. They look expensive on one person and completely wrong on another.
And most people never learn the real reason why.
That is because true garment fitting is a professional skill rarely taught outside of high-end fashion houses, bespoke tailoring environments, and advanced professional training.
On Saturday, July 18, 2026, nationally recognized Master Bespoke Tailor Eric W. Stiles Sr. will present an exclusive live 1-Day Professional Fashion Workshop at Moraine Valley College in Building M, Room M210, from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM.
Students have attended Eric's classes and workshops from throughout Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin because the professional knowledge presented is difficult to find elsewhere and is well worth both the modest cost and travel time.
This is not a sewing class!
This is a rare behind-the-scenes look into the professional world of garment fitting, body proportions, balance, drape, and fit analysis — the same concepts used in luxury tailoring and high-end garment development.
For 2.5 intensive hours, participants will learn how professionals actually SEE clothing.
You will begin understanding:
• Why garments pull, twist, collapse, or feel uncomfortable • Why some clothing flatters the body and some does not • How body proportions affect fit • How professional fitters identify problems immediately • How to visually evaluate garments like a professional • How proper fitting changes the entire appearance of clothing • Why expensive garments can still fit poorly • The hidden details most people never notice
Once you understand professional fitting principles, you will never look at clothing the same way again.
This workshop is designed for:
• Fashion students • Designers • Sewing enthusiasts • Tailors and alteration specialists • Boutique owners • Beginners wanting professional knowledge • Anyone frustrated with poor garment fit • Anyone serious about fashion, clothing, and appearance
Eric W. Stiles Sr. brings more than 40 years of professional experience in luxury garment construction, bespoke tailoring, and high-end fashion. His background includes work connected to internationally respected fashion houses including Brioni, Giorgio Armani, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Tom Ford.
Students and attendees consistently describe his workshops as eye-opening, inspiring, practical, and unlike anything they have experienced before.
Many people spend years learning sewing techniques without ever learning the science and visual art of proper fit.
This workshop changes that.
And for a limited time, the fee for this exclusive professional workshop is just $63.21.
Considering the level of professional knowledge being presented, this is an extraordinary opportunity for anyone serious about fashion, garment construction, alterations, or understanding how clothing truly fits the body.
Seats are limited and expected to fill quickly.
Those who attend will gain knowledge that permanently changes the way they see garments, proportions, and the human body.
More professional fashion workshops will follow.

Sertoma Star Services Hosts Unique Wellness Event Designed Specifically for First Responders and Their Loved Ones
First responders are trained to answer the call when others need help. Yet the emotional toll of serving on the front lines often extends beyond the individual, impacting marriages, families, and personal well-being. To address this often-overlooked reality, Sertoma Star Services is hosting Responding First to Each Other: Wellness for First Responders and Their Loved Ones (ages 16+,) a free wellness event created specifically to strengthen relationships and support the mental health of first responder families.
The in-person event will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Friday, June 12, &nbsp;at the Bremen Township Senior Complex, 15350 Oak Park Avenue, Oak Forest, Illinois. Attendance is free, but <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/responding-first-to-each-other-wellness-event-for-first-responder-families-tickets-1984217505974" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">advance registration is required</a>.
<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/responding-first-to-each-other-wellness-event-for-first-responder-families-tickets-1984217505974" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Reserve Your Spot!</a>
There is a growing need for resources that focus not only on the well-being of first responders but also on the families who share in the challenges of the profession. While many wellness programs are designed for first responders alone, this unique event brings first responders and adult family members together to learn, connect, and build strategies for navigating the stressors that come with careers in law enforcement, fire service, emergency medical services, and other emergency response professions.
First responders regularly face trauma, long hours, unpredictable schedules, and high-pressure situations. These realities can create communication barriers, emotional strain, and increased stress at home. Responding First to Each Other was developed to help families better understand these challenges and equip them with practical tools to strengthen communication, build resilience, and support one another through the demands of the profession.
“First responders are often expected to be strong for everyone else, but the reality is that the stress, trauma, and demands of the profession don’t stay at work—they come home,” said Gia Washington, Director of Community Education at Sertoma Star Services. “While there is growing awareness around first responder mental health, there are still very few opportunities that bring first responders and their family members together to learn, heal, and strengthen their relationships as a team. This event fills an important gap by recognizing that wellness isn’t just individual—it extends to families. When first responders and their loved ones have the tools to communicate, support one another, and build resilience together, everyone benefits.”
Through expert-led presentations, interactive discussions, and wellness-focused activities, participants will gain valuable insights into maintaining healthy relationships while balancing the unique responsibilities of public service. The event also provides a rare opportunity for first responder families to connect with others who share similar experiences, fostering a sense of community and mutual support.
As awareness grows around the importance of mental health and wellness in public safety professions, programs that include spouses and family members have become increasingly recognized as an essential component of long-term resilience. Sertoma Star Services is proud to offer this innovative event as part of its commitment to supporting the mental health and well-being of the communities it serves.
Sertoma Star Services is a leading provider of programs and support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and those living with mental illness. Serving more than 2,000 individuals, the organization operates locations in Alsip, Chicago Heights, Crete, and Matteson, Illinois, with an office in Merrillville, Indiana.
