31. GARMENT
CONSTRUCTION

32. GARMENT CONSTRUCTION
A sloper pattern (home sewing) or block
pattern (industrial production) is a custom-fitted, basic
pattern from which patterns for many different styles can
be developed. The process of changing the size of a
finished pattern is called grading.
Fashion design runs the garment from eveningwear to
sportswear, women’s wear to menswear, and kids wear to
knitwear. Garment Construction popularly called as Pattern
Engineering has a great importance in the fashion design
industry. The companies like Van Heuson, Dockers, Levis,
Adidas etc. are all providers of perfect fit and this is what
we learn at Dezyne E’cole through the art of pattern
making.
The draping method involves creating a muslin mock-up
pattern by pinning fabric directly on a form, then
transferring the muslin outline and markings onto a paper
pattern or using the muslin as the pattern itself.

33. • The first clothes were made of natural
elements-:
Animal skins
Furs
Grasses and leaves
• Clothing was draped and tied, needles were
made of bones.
• Before sewing machines all clothing were
simple and hand sewn, after sewing
machines were invented, the clothing was
industry took off.
GARMENT CONSTRUCTION
• Garment making is a technical accomplishment
that requires knowledge of fabrics, principles of
clothing construction and skills involved in it.
• This depends on the ability to select the correct
fabric, color, design and accessories to suit an
individual occasion.
NATURE AND PURPOSE OF DRESS
• Most obvious function of dress is warmth and protection.
• Identifying the wearer and making wearer appear more
attractive.
HISTORY

34. TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT’S
The flat-pattern method is where the entire pattern is drafted on a flat surface from measurements, using rulers,
curves and straight-edges. A pattern maker uses various tools such as a notcher, drill and awl to mark the pattern.
Usually, flat patterning begins with the creation of a sloper or block pattern, a simple, fitted garment made to the
wearer's measurements.
A patternmaker typically employs one of two methods to create a pattern.

40. GARMENT CONSTRUCTION
• A costume or garment is constructed by cutting the
fabric into parts according to a pattern which fits the
human form; then the different parts
are joined together by sewing.
FINISHES
• Finishing is a final process given to garments-
• Gives a good appearance
• Desirable feel
• Impart certain durable properties
1. Stiffness
2. Softness

41. NECKLINE FINISH- PIPING
PIPING – Piping is a bias strip of fabric on 1 ¼” wide and is attached to the neckline on the seam line after starching.
The piping is finished either by heming or machine stich it is finished to about 1/8” to ¼” wide ready on the right side of
the garment it is a popular finish for necklines.
Here are several steps of preparation to finish a neckline threw piping -
1. Take measurement of
neckline.
2. Mark a bias strip which is
1.5“ wide and length
according to neck + seam
allowance.cf 3. Cut the strip.
4. Pin this strip at neck.

42. NECKLINE FINISH- FACING
SHAPED FACING- A shaped facing is cut following the shape of the neckline and its attached on the right side and
then it is completely turned in. the width of this facing varies for each design but is generally 1-1/2”
3. Cut the strip.
4. Pin this strip at neck.
1. Trace the neckline on fabric
2. Mark a bias strip which is
1.5“ wide and length

43. GEOMETRY
As since from childhood we are using geometry. We worked through our geometry boxes. As we grew up we came to
see that geometry is everywhere. Geometry is seen in plants, mountains, human figure, architects and many more. The
things which we take in daily use like pen, pencil, rubber, boxes, scales, etc. are also based on geometry.
• Geometry is the combination of shapes, lines, and forms.
• Things that are available in market are in rectangular shapes- copy, boxes, rubbers, sharpeners, pencil, etc.
• In geometry we can find how circles can be used in myriad ways to create geometrical shapes and patterns.
• From Ancient times geometry could be seen in the dresses. Pyramids were constructs through geometry.
• Geometry is all about GOLDEN RATIO.
• Everything on earth is based on FIBONACCI SERIES i.e. human figures.
• Things based on Fibonacci series looks beautiful and elegant.
When I entered in the field of FASHION DESIGNING I came to know that all the cuts on the dresses are based on
geometry. Garment construction totally depends upon geometry. The patterns are developed through geometry.
So, presently I am working on a project which is based on geometry, as geometry fascinated me a lot.
In the subsequent pages you will be able to see how geometry has been used to create different patterns.

69. COLLECTION

70. MARKET RESEARCH
• In order to gain an understanding of current fashion
stock and ranges across market level, the designers
need to conduct “COMP SHOP” this term refers to
competitor, retail outlets, stock and comparing this
stock with each other.
• Quality of fabric construction and detailing are carefully
studied along with prices and origin of manufacturers.
• It provides a great deal of information like planning and
selling fashion collection.
• Finally, it will be the fashion buyers who make the
decision to order fashion.
• Decisions based on-
1. Historical knowledge of customer
2. Quality of merchandise
3. Exclusivity, price and stock in previous season
HOW TO START COLLECTION
• Any successful or financially viable collection
require an enormous amount of research.
• Designers, manufacturers have information of their
customers need.
• In addition to creation of any collection we need to
consider a lot of consideration.

71. THEMES FOR COLLECTION

history, event.
DESIGNING FOR COLLECTION
• Designing builds of theme and includes number of
garments, to be done. From paper pattern to muslin
sample, adjustments, accurate pattern, samples in
fashion fabric and various colors in three month
period.

72. COLLECTION AND THEIR INFLUENCES
• ARCHIVISM
In a fashion context, archivism refers to the way in which designers look back to previous collections for inspirations. In
particular the original aesthetics of all well established label may be revisited decades later, with collection referencing
the same design influences and detailing. Designers such as Karl Lager field for Chanel and John Galliano for Christian
Dior continue to refer the fashion houses iconic statements, playing with scale, logo and accessories,. These designers
continue to update the signature of past. These fashion sources fluctuate in importance and influence due to trend
directions and fashion ever changing aesthetics.
KARL LAGERFIELD

73. CONCEPTUAL INFLUENCES
The origin of contemporary conceptual fashion may well be credited to the Japanese designers Rai Kawakubo, Yohoji
Yamamoto, Issey Miyake. For decades these designers have been producing the most intriguing, provocative fashion
by creating new ways of cutting and constructing. Conceptual collections are often beautiful, timeless, ageless, and
dislocated from most visual narratives, however they can also be challenging, abstract. There is usually little or no
decoration to obscure the essence of proportion, cut, finishes, or quality, of fabric, used

fabric on dress to develop the structure of garment
design. It’s done with muslin. Fashion designers
drape garments in sections- front & back bodice,
front and back skirt. Only the right side of the fabric
is draped.

78. PROCESS OF DRAPING
MECHANISM DRAPING?
• Pieces of muslin are cut and prepared. It includes-
measuring, blocking, marking grain lines.
• Fabric is pinned to dress form and positioned to form
darts, tucks, to give shape and fit to the garment.
• Once the design is achieved, marking of seam lines
darts etc. are marked on muslin.
• After marking muslin is removed and laid on flat table
for trueing for giving smooth curves.
• Again the muslin is pinned on dress form along with
pinned darts to check fit accuracy.
• Muslin is removed and pressed flat to transfer markings
on paper, creating sewing pattern.
Designers have to consider many aspects while
draping fabrics like, material and GSM of fabric.
Materials like chiffon, satin, silk are used in draping.
Drape meter was used to determine a drape
coefficient. It contains a number from 0 to 100 in
written format.
Eg. Satin and muslin clothes have good draping
property than twill hosieries.

For designing garments one has to have a good knowledge of elements and principles of design.
The elements play a major role in development of any design. Elements like line, shape, color, value, texture are used
as structural and decorative way on a garment so that the appearance comes out beautiful and pleasing.
In the subsequent pages I have presented how basic prints can create optical illusion on the garment.
Prints are decorative elements which can create beautiful textures on the garment. In this portfolio I have presented
