Italian term
confezionista
Italian to English
Other
Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
clothing manufacture, outsourcing
This word turns up in a number of strings of a program for outsourcing the manufacture of clothing.
No decent sentences, just strings such as:
- Righe documento confezionisti per taglia
The confezionista is apparently someone who makes up the garments, I found this definition in Italian:
"Il confezionista è una figura base nella produzione di capi d’abbigliamento in quanto a livello industriale si occupa del taglio e del successivo assemblaggio dei pezzi." (more here: http://www.modartech.com/content/view/102/35/lang,en/)
What would the counterpart be in English?

| Thanks! Though I think an old-fashioned "seamstress" was much more skilled all-round than these people... :) |
