It is necessary to take into account the features of the figure. Dresses with a straight silhouette are often cut at master classes according to one measurement. You need to focus on a larger volume if the figure is non-standard.
For some models (knitted or bias cut), Olga Nikishicheva suggests using your favorite T-shirt. It can be applied to the fabric and traced. This will be a shelf for models with a flared skirt. For the direct version, it is enough to extend the line to the bottom.
The designer gives tips on how to save on fabric. For example, for a floor-length dress, you can choose tulle or organza for curtains. The large width will allow you to cut out a circle skirt without unnecessary seams. Many tight-fitting models, for example, a transforming dress, are sewn from a meter of fabric. At the same time they look impressive.
Before buying expensive fabric, try sewing a model from cheap or old materials. It will be possible to adjust the product to your figure. It doesn't hurt to make sure the style fits.
At master classes, the needlewoman shares her tricks. Instead of overcasting the bottom (for some fabrics), it is enough to scorch it with a candle. First do this on a piece of scrap paper. For drawstring in opaque materials, you can use a satin ribbon.

Groups, separate threads and entire forums are created where seamstresses and designers, experienced and beginners, discuss new master classes of the fashion designer and try to repeat the images she creates.
Looking at the ease with which Olga creates her outfits in a matter of minutes, even those who have never held a needle in their hands are trying to sew. Moreover, to create clothes “according to Nikishicheva” it is not necessary to buy fabric; you can sew from scrap materials - a scarf, tablecloth, shawl.
What is the secret of such popularity of the designer and presenter?
Olga Nikishicheva is a fresh wind in the world of fashion and design. Her models are distinguished by their elegance, simplicity of cut and ease of execution.
Despite her popularity as a fashion designer, Olga Nikishicheva achieved success in other professions. She hosts a column in the morning show on Channel One, hosts festive events and award shows, and acts as the face of “Couturier of the Year.”
In addition, the needlewoman is a candidate for master of sports in judo, a candidate of economic sciences and speaks three foreign languages: English, Polish and Italian.
Some sewing masters criticize the designer, but many fans, prestigious awards and celebrity clients are undoubted confirmation of Olga’s outstanding abilities.

Nikishicheva’s collections were awarded at the “Silver Thread”, “Admiralty Star”, “Russian Silhouette” and “Kremlin Stars” competitions. And her Moulin Rouge collection, presented at the Fashion show in Milan, was marked with a certified real gold needle.
Popular singers and one of Olga’s regular clients, Vika Tsyganova and Irina Saltykova, speak warmly about working with the designer and creating their images together with her.
Although in her master classes Olga addresses inexperienced craftswomen, she herself is highly qualified in sewing. She received the profession of design engineer after graduating from the Russian Textile Institute. The next stage was an internship at the Milan fashion institute Carlo Secoli, the alma mater of many famous fashion designers such as Max Mara and John Galliano, and the London fashion school Cant Martins.
Another contradiction in the fashion designer’s creative biography is the scattering of her creative ideas. Creating chic outfits for the stage images of pop stars, she can take on orders to design workwear for workers at a mine or a security agency.
The principles that Olga follows when creating outfits:
- There are never too many dresses. Elegant and feminine or daring and bold - any life situation, place and time of year should correspond to a certain outfit.
- The style must be original and recognizable. You need to have the courage to embody any, even your most daring ideas. It’s better not to chase fashion, but to have your own unique style.
- You can sew your dream outfit yourself. According to the couturier, to create vivid images, it is more important to have a rich imagination and sense of style than extensive experience in sewing.
- No patterns. In her master classes, the designer does not use patterns and takes a minimum of measurements so that novice seamstresses can repeat her outfits.
Despite the fact that designer Olga Nikishicheva has a unique, recognizable style, any woman will find a suitable outfit among her models.

For example, a robe dress with trousers or jeans can be worn for a walk, and without trousers - on a romantic date. A stylish mini length is appropriate to wear to a party or date. A sundress made of a scarf in combination with a silk blouse is an outfit for work, and with a T-shirt - an original vest.

Evening dress in an hour
The designer offers a large selection of easy-to-make outfits for a special occasion. As a rule, these are emphatically feminine models.
For this, Olga recommends using beautiful fabric with luxurious decoration - sequins, lace or organza.
For a lighter cocktail dress, go with silk or flowy knit. By the way, the edges of some knitted fabrics do not need to be processed. In order to understand this, the designer recommends stretching the edge of the fabric. If the loops do not “go”, the edges do not need to be processed.
Elegant dresses are one of the few outfits that Olga decorates with additional elements - brooch clasps, belts with tassels, lace decor. However, in this case, she recommends using jewelry in moderation, or even giving up jewelry altogether.

For summer, long dresses are often the best choice. Made from natural cotton, light and flowing, they allow you to avoid the discomfort of hot weather while remaining feminine and elegant.
Olga’s collection also includes simpler, playful summer models of medium length with a fashionable print, for example, polka dots. It is recommended to complement them with bright accessories.
