In this lesson, I taught how to create unconventional dress styles using simple geometric shapes. I demonstrated how to push the boundaries of traditional dress patterns by manipulating rectangular shapes and adding unique elements like asymmetrical sleeves.

Lesson Steps:

1. Measure the dress form for length and width
2. Create a basic rectangular shape based on measurements
3. Sketch unconventional dress designs by manipulating the rectangular shape
4. Design an upside-down T-shaped dress
5. Create a curved rectangular dress design
6. Add an asymmetrical “elephant nose” sleeve to the curved dress
7. Cut out the designed shapes for draping
