About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever pictured yourself surrounded by beautiful fabrics and the shimmer of new dress collections daily? If you love helping customers feel their best and have a flair for style (or needlework!), this could be the boutique role made for you. We’re looking for enthusiastic women to join our close-knit team in Khor Fakkan — both as Sales Assistants and as Tailoring Assistants. Whether your passion is friendly customer service or perfecting a fit, your day is sure to be varied and rewarding here.
About the Company
We’re a popular women's dress boutique in the heart of Khor Fakkan, where personalized service meets a love for fashion. Our team is small but mighty — everyone pitches in, whether it’s styling the mannequins for a new launch or swapping tailoring tips. We believe shopping for clothes (and working with them) should be joyful, supportive, and just a little bit fun. You’ll often catch our staff chatting with regulars, trading style advice, or celebrating a particularly great alteration. We might be boutique-sized, but our ambitions are roomy!

- Work with different fabrics and styles to alter dresses — think shortening hems, letting out seams, or adjusting fit as requested

- Offer advice on tailoring options to help clients feel truly confident in their choices
