CONTENT OF THE COURSE
In this course, you will learn how to draw a basic dress pattern, made exactly to fit your body measurements. You can choose between a male or female version. After drawing the basic pattern, you will create a toile (test garment) to ensure every detail fits perfectly. Then you can let your imagination run free and design a dress that you would like to make. You will bring your own fabric and sew this exclusive design.
If you have completed our basic pattern-making course, you can take this course and, instead of drawing a basic dress pattern, you can create patterns for two different designs. Alternatively, you can purchase this course and follow the lessons as open lessons, allowing you to decide how to use your hours and shape the lessons yourself.
