TECHNICAL FLATS DRAWINGS

We were given a template for us to trace garments over these model illustrations

.

Skirts and pants templates

Front and back view of garments i designed .

Nights gown/ dresses for dinner

I designed modest outfits to show the feminity of a body even with fully covered clothes. This fashion would be the most suitable for muslim women who wear hijabs. 

I honestly admired lace and embroided details because it looks elegant, feminine and beautiful.

OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING

During the observational drawing, we are told to look for the details that are obvious and also the main focus of the garment. We chose a wedding gown with lace details on the bust and hip area. At the skirt area, there were pleats which falls all the way to the hem line of the gown.

Here are some of my try-outs of illustrating the gown and other garments with zoomed-in details.

GARMENT 1:

a wedding gown with pleated and lace details on the floor-length flared skirt

i mimicked the pleated details of the gown onto my drawing

this is the zoomed detail of the lace on the gown

the lace lies at the peak before the triangular openings of the pleats

I did some other  detailed illustrations with different garments that I've seen in the magazines 

wrapped top, with bell sleeves (kimono inspired)
loose-fitting, floor length pants

the corset is being worn outside of the garment instead of inside.

GARMENT 2 :

i  tried to focus the details on the metal feathers of this garment piece by McQueen

the hemline of the skirt inside the coat has pleats. It is made of silk

this is the detail of the golden feather coat which has a high collar that goes around the back of the head.

GARMENT 3 :

This loose fitted draw-string blouse-dress was a combination of my own clothes from my wardrobe. The hem line of the skirt has embroidery details and the skirt is being slashed in the middle followed by an irregular knife pleats surrounding the dress.

this is the embroidered detail that can be seen on the sleeves, collar and also the hemline of the dress .

As a fashion designer, I ought to be familiar and assure of the simple steps to develop a garment. The picture above shows a basic of grain lines. As taught, grain lines are the movement in the pattern of a garment in which they are laid on the fabric.

In the first lesson, i learnt a couple of things and went on to research more about it. 

Firstly, our class discussed about the contemporary fashion that is present today. There are a number of clothing that are trending up till this day. Ripped jeans, stone wash, acid wash, boot-cut, high-waist and etc.

These are the examples of such contemporary style :

RIPPED JEANS

Next, I was introduced to the names of the different types of sleeves, skirts, pants and even collars. Each specific design or pattern are given a unique name which rightfully deserved its name because of the way they look or how people wear them and make them look.

COLLAR NAMES

SLEEVE NAMES

It is important as a fashion designer that we memorize the names of the different types of garments. With that, we would be more professional when handling different types of styles so that it would be easier for us when we want to design our own garments.
