Figure
Angles
Notice how the direction of the torso,
in any pose, affects the contours or
curves in the sewing lines, as they turn
with the figure.
Form and
Function
The function of the darts is to make a
garment fit or follow the form, in this
case, the form of the bust line curve.
Body
Planes
The torso can be divided into four sides.
This pose shows off two sides and the
front of this square. The turn direction,
for this pose, is evident in the sides and
affects where you draw the dart lines.
Pose
Posing a flat has the
advantage of
emphasizing fit:
in this example,
the look or fit of
the bodice as it
hugs the chest.
Flat
Flats give you all of
the construction and
shape detail without
the possible distortion
of a posed flat.
Spec
Specs provide the most
comprehensive detailing
for every aspect in
creating a garment, to
produce it en masse.
