Fashion Details (Week 10)

Hi guys, for this week entry, I'll discuss about product development progress as well as drawing garment by following the measurement. 

In fashion industry, before a garment was done, it went through lots of progress such as, designing, pattern cutting, prototype (toile), real garment making, finding mistakes (testing on model), and spec sheet. In case of designing, fashion designers were the one who are in charge of designing garments, while for pattern cutting, cutters cut all the pattern after they received the final design from designers. However, prototype means the patterns were pinned and stitched with using calico, which then become a sample of the garment. After the full toile was done, cutting and stitching the real fabric begin. Then, when it finished, it was tested to a model or to everyone which fit the garment in order to know the mistakes. After it went through all the process, spec sheet was made, which included technical flat drawing as part of it. Talking about technical flat drawing, in fashion industry, technical flat drawing will never change and the product which come out must be exactly the same with what was drawn in technical flat drawing. Therefore, technical flat drawing must be done accurately in order to avoid misunderstanding. At the end of the process, all the designs will be signed by the factory.

In conclusion, each part in the progress has connection with each other. Therefore, even though it is a small mistake, it will still affect each other and of course it will give changes to the final product itself. 

Well, as I said before, unlike previous lessons, this week we drew technical flat drawing by following the measurement, which means we need to measure the length, width, even the position of the pockets and other details from the garments, then transfer it to our drawing and minimize the measurement. 

Therefore, this is what I drew in class!

In a nutshell, technical flat drawing is very important because if there are mistakes in the drawing, then other people who took part in the industry will get the effect as well.

Here are what I did during my spare time.

As you can see in this picture, the characteristic of this garment are cap sleeve, 2 chest patch pockets, 2 inside pockets around the waistline, CF seam for the skirt from the dress, and 3 shank buttons which are only for decorations

This is my technical flat drawing plus the measurements.

In this garment, it has a spread shirt collar, sleeveless, 5 buttons buttonholes as fastening, gathers at the waistline, and 2 layers of flares.  

This is how my technical flat drawings look like
