As the 20th century progressed, the dominant development was the gradual change in the supplier of clothing from the dressmaker to the department store. Yet, for wealthy clients, high-fashion dressmakers continued, for a time, to operate successfully in large cities. Such clients were served in the post-WWII period, in Montreal, through couturiers (stylish, high-quality dressmakers running expensive establishments), who modelled their operations on those of French couture salons. In Canada this type of operation persists, but in a reduced form. Distinctively Canadian design began later in the 20th century, when local manufacturing facilities began to make use of their own designers.
