I have been keeping you up to date about my latest class project: a little white dress designed for a woman in her mid-20s and 30s. I am almost done! The sample is with the seamstress and she is working to create the final dress so I can ship it to the Academy of Arts University.
The class simulates a real life experience. I am learning how to communicate my design ideas to another person who is then tasked with creating the final product. To facilitate this discussion and transfer of information, fashion designers use construction sheets with call outs and technical drawings of the various elements relevant to the production.
Below you can see my constructions sheets for the little white dress. The pages provide details about labels/hang tags, darts, constructions of neckline and armholes, and the finish of the skirt hem. The purpose of these construction sheets is to be precise and clear.
It has been a great experience learning how to convey my ideas to another person. I am looking forward to the final little white dress!
