In this session, I provided an overview of the Charlie dress project, which is a cocktail dress made from jersey fabric using creative draping techniques.

I discussed the design variations, fabric options, and the amount of fabric needed for the project.

Lesson Steps:

  • Introduced the Charlie dress project, a cocktail dress made from jersey fabric using creative draping techniques
  • Explained that the dress will have a halter top with a draped skirt, with variations in the draping placement (around the hips or waist)
  • Discussed fabric options: two-way stretch interlock jersey viscose, rayon knit, or silk jersey
  • Showed samples of the fabric options, highlighting their drape, stretch, and texture
  • Mentioned that approximately 2.5 yards of fabric would be needed for draping and sewing the dress
  • Announced the next step would be starting the draping process
