? about pattern drafting/design
Hi there , I am not sure this will help or not but there is a company
Material Things the designer is Cecelia Podolak and I think she could probably help you . her phone # is 604-469-6953 Allison wrote: Hi there, I hope someone can help us. My daughter would like to try making a dress of her own design. But we aren't too certain how to go about it. When I was googling for pattern drafting sites the sort of thing that came up was pretty basic. Does anyone know how to go about doing something more different? Her idea is to have gathered shoulders, sleeveless; the bodice will have the right side crossed over the left so the neck will be v-shaped. She is yet sure if she wants the waist to be defined or not. If there is a waist line (with a seam) then she wants the skirt part to be gathered at the waist and very full (sort of 50's style I think). If there is no waist line then it would hang fairly straight. So I guess we would like either help for finding a patttern like this or help in how to make our won pattern. TIA Allison |

It's kinda frustrating for a man to read all this and realize that all
or almost all does not apply to men. We might as well be Martians for all the pattern world cares. js -- PHOTO OF THE WEEK: http://schmidling.com/pow.htm Astronomy, Beer, Cheese, Fiber,Gems, Sausage,Silver http://schmidling.com |
