1911 Corset- Draper and Stitcher
For this assignment, a draft was given to pattern the corset based on our model’s measurements. I then made a mock-up and made the corrections. The corset was sewn together, and all raw edges were covered with ½” twill tape. The back was treated differently, and one side was bagged out, and the other was folded under to create boning channels. Flossing and lace were applied before the back was attached. The back was connected to the red of the corset, allowing the corset to have an alteration point at the back.

Knitwear- Draper and Stitcher
This assignment was to drape a garment based on a reference picture. The pattern is one piece, and the front crosses over. It had to be hemmed on the wrong side of the fabric. The sleeves and the bottom of the back of the shirt are double-fold hemmed. The neckline and crossover are bound. Finally, for the gathered section, I made a channel by flat-felling the seam, putting buttonholes in it, and then tacking the laces in the tube.

Garment Recreation - Draper and Stitcher
For this project, we had to pattern a shirt either in a different size or the same size as the shirt we were shown. I chose to pattern it in a different size. There was also a focus on making sure our center front and back yoke were pattern matched. The front had a facing built, which also acted as a facing for the front of the collar. The yoke had two layers, one acting as a facing, so the shoulders and yoke seam were encased. The only serged edges seen in the garment are those of the side seams and sleeves.

Shirt Waist - Draper, and Stitcher
For this project, we had to pattern a shirtwaist from 1914 based on a catalog photo. I made a mock-up and made some corrections. One challenge of this project was that none of the insides could be serged. It had to be alternatives, so I chose Hong Kong finishes using seam binding. To keep the waist cinched, elastic was used.

Boned Bodice - Draper and Stitcher
Designer: Bill Brewer
The bodice was required to be draped. I was given a sketch of a boned bodice and padded a mannequin to match the model’s measurements. After the fitting, I transferred the corrections onto the paper patterns. The bodice itself was finished with a combination of piping and bias tape, where one side of the bias tape is folded, and the other is piping. The closures were sewn on, and then the embroidery was sewn on.

1950s Dress Project - Draper and Stitcher
For the patterned dress, we first did a ½ mockup to get the feel for how to make it and get the design lines right. Then I took the blocks and modified them to match the style of the given sketch. The bodice pieces were flatlined and then sewn together, and the sleeves were put on. The skirt was sewn on, and then the neck facing was attached to finish off the edges. The bow was hand-stitched on.
