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