Description
This course offers foundational methods of draping, pattern drafting, and construction techniques to build garments. The students learn how to develop a set of slopers, consisting of bodice, sleeve and skirt, combining and integrating draping and pattern drafting methods. Through these methods, the students develop and construct design concepts, first in muslin, then in fabric; stressing the importance of proper fit and craftsmanship. No pre-req.

Description
Fashion Construction II builds the fundamentals of construction through a unique combination of pattern drafting, draping on the form, and sewing techniques, expanding to principles of the torso block, shirt-, and dress variations, as well as adding more variance in finishes and closures. Students develop and construct design concepts and explore variations, first in muslin, then in fabric, and will complete 2 garments. Pre-req: FASH 2001

Description
(In this co-taught studio), students are combining the conceptual and functional principles as they build full silhouettes as prototypes for a capsule mini-collection they have designed. The principles of shape, balance and proportion of the garment are emphasized as students adapt a silhouette from original design sketch to cloth. Through muslin- fittings on a fashion model, students clarify shape, details, volume, and finishes to complete looks through fully materialized garments.
