This studio course examines the process of creating a three-dimensional garment from the two- dimensional fabric. The principles and processes of draping, advanced flat-pattern making, and fitting are studied through projects. Drawing exercises focus on the communication of three-dimensional garments in two-dimensional sketches. Assigned problems require students to make judgments regarding the design process, the nature of materials, body structure, function, and fashion.
