LESSONS
Freya Dress Project
Lesson 1
Introduction and Design Review
In this session, I discuss designing a structured cocktail dress with added volume and drama. The dress will be made from silk taffeta with embroidery details, requiring careful construction to maintain the desired silhouette.
8 mins
Lesson 2
Review and Draping
I discuss how to manipulate the twist dress pattern and modifying it to add volume at the hips & sleeves, creating a peg skirt shape with a fuller top and slimmer hem.
1 hr 1 min
Lesson 3
Sleeve Construction
How to draft and create a puff sleeve design for the Freya Dress. We explored different puff sleeve styles like Victorian sleeves with volume at the top and slimmer at the bottom.
1 hr 19 mins
Lesson 4
Correcting & Marking the Pattern
In this session, I drape the back bodice, mark all the seams, waist gathers, and finalize the skirt length. I cut the hem, allowing us to transfer the draped pieces onto paper to create the pattern.
1 hr 21 mins
Lesson 5
Draping the Front Bodice Lining
How to drape the lining for the Freya dress project. I decided to create a lightweight and breathable lining to maintain the spring/summer feel of the dress while still providing structure.
34 mins
Lesson 6
Completing the Pattern - Part 1
In this session, I transfer all the finalized pattern pieces from the dress form to paper. This includes the front and back bodice, skirt, sleeves, and lining pieces. I color-code the pieces and add important markings like notches, darts, gathering points etc.
33 mins
Lesson 7
Completing the Pattern - Part 2
In this session, I teach the initial steps of drafting the pattern pieces for the Freya dress, including the bodice lining, sleeves, and skirt. I demonstrate measuring the dress form, transferring those measurements to the pattern, and making adjustments for ease and fit.
55 mins
Lesson 8
Completing the Pattern - Part 3
In this lesson, I go over the drafted pattern pieces for the Freya twist dress. I explain the various components like the bodice, sleeves, skirt, and lining pieces, making adjustments for ease and fit.
