Pattern Drafting and Draping

At the end of the course, the students should be able to: 1. identify the principles and practice of reproducing patterns from made up garments; 2. state the principles of modelling; 3. explain the reasons and scope of draping as well as the basic principles of draping; and 4. produce working flat patterns for garments by draping.

The Principles and Practice of Reproducing Patterns from Made-up Garment: state the reasons for reproducing patterns from garments, differentiate between patterns for tailored (Boat-poke) and those for mass production of garments, produce patterns by tracing out garment patterns on to muslin. The Principles of Modelling: select appropriate fabric for modelling by choosing toile of similar weight and fabric structure, indicate positions on models, produce flat pattern from modelled toiles with ease allowance. Production of Working Flat Pattern for Garment by Draping: explain the reasons and scope of draping, state the basic principles of draping, select suitable model and toile for draping.
