Fabulous Fit

The flat-pattern method begins with the creation of a sloper or block, a basic pattern for a fitted, jewel-neck bodice and narrow skirt, made to the wearer's measurements. The sloper is usually made of lightweight cardboard or tagboard, without seam allowances or style details. Once the shape of the sloper has been refined by making a series of mock-up garments. The final sloper can be used in turn to create patterns for many styles of garments with varying necklines, sleeves, dart placements etc. The Direct Measurement method is used when a creative idea is innovative or the basic structure requirements are dependant upon body contour, fabric specifications and the end use product. When a new design has been drafted and proven, direct measurement patterns are used as in the Sloper method. The Geometric method in design is using basic geometric shapes of given measurements, the final assembly of which will create apparel items. Ponchos, kimonos, and ethnic designs are examples of geometric styling.
