When i am talking about cost of making a dress it means the time it takes you to make a dress, the money it costs you to finish the dress and your sacrifice just to make sure a dress is ready to be worn. Its not easy making it done. Seeing a ready-made had required a lot of effort before it’s been done.
Sometimes i wakes up in thinking nothing but just but ‘how do i make this wear or how do i complete e this dress?’ . If you wan to be a fashion designer, you have to be creative to bring up a concept. In any where you are making, there must be a concept of what you want to make , and from concept to pattern to sketch ✍️.
Perfection in the Making
Making a dress requires perfection, which start from when the measurement is been taken. For instance, when taking a measurement of a shoulder’ this has to pin from the right shoulder to the left shoulder or left shoulder shoulder to the right’ , in most cases the shoulder measurement should not be shortened backwards the neck and bot fallen excesses towards the sleeve. When taking a sleeve measurement measurement, it should start straight a way from where the shoulder stop ✋. In my upcoming posts, i will make a post explaining in full details how to take someone’s measurement for dress 👗.
Applying measurement to sketching
This another area where you have to be very careful and intelligent about , cause when you make a mistake in applying the measurement , automatically the dress is error. For instance when applying a shoulder measurement in sketching, normally a piece of materials is folded into two(2), so the measurement has to be divided into two, more-so sewing allowance has be added too.
