Theater 593D - S-Draping and Patternmaking

A hands-on study of draping and patternmaking, primarily focused on womenswear. Processes learned parallel those performed in theatrical costume houses and professional theater costume shops. The work includes draping on the dress form, flat patterning, and pattern drafting from historical patterning sources. Work in the class encompasses a range of techniques from the creation of a customized muslin sloper and pattern to an involved historically based project including the draping, patterning and construction of a period influenced garment of the students design. This project may be tied directly to an actual design for a production if the challenge is appropriate for the students development.
