Dress Project: Vionnet Vionnet Dress Torso Patternmaking

Lesson content locked

If you're already enrolled, you'll need to log in.

In this session, I taught how to transfer the draped muslin pieces onto paper to create the pattern for the Vionnet dress bodice.

I demonstrated pinning the fabric carefully without stretching, separating the pieces, transferring markings, adding seam allowances, and creating facings for the neckline and armholes.

Lesson Steps:

  • Pinned the draped muslin pieces onto paper without stretching the bias fabric
  • Separated the pinned pieces one by one to transfer markings
  • Transferred all markings like notches, apex, waist, etc. onto pattern paper
  • Added seam allowances to each pattern piece
  • Created facing patterns for the neckline and armholes by tracing 1″ away from edges
  • Marked all notches, grainlines, and pattern information on the pieces
  • Prepared to draft the skirt pattern in the next step
