Simple hack to design a dress like a Pro

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)

Instead of drawing dress designs manually, why not cut the shape out and fit it into different patterns? This way, you can save time and effort.

I'm gonna show you two simple steps on how to do this.


Step 1

In a plain paper, sketch a dress design pattern. Make sure to emphasize the curves of the dress that you're making.

Step 2

Cut out the dress portion and start putting it over several things to get your desired design


Here's mine. Are you ready?

Wow so clever and so artistic.
Upvoted pls follow me thanks :)

Nice painting so it's a good post for you fella painting that is fun and so beautiful in the view

Thankyou so much @ismailsteem

Your design are too good from how many times you in fashion design

The reason I do not do this is because of cloth.
Cloth does not look like that hanging on a body.

If you cut a pattern on the diagonal, it is a whole different look and movement as opposed to cutting a pattern on the straight.

Some materials you can get by with four panels. (especially if you use models who are as thick as a coat hanger) Other materials require a princess cut to lay correctly.

Ruffles and frills are all about the springiness of the cloth and the texture they show.

So, I tend to do all of this in my head, and only draw things when I need to explain them to someone else.

Somehow, this will give us some idea on what design to sketch for we could see if it is suitable for the skin color or the dress' motif itself

Anyway, thanks for dropping by! I bet you're really good when it comes to designing :) hope to see you around

Very nice post friend !!

Thank you my friend @abdullahzahid

This will basically help you save time a lot and an innovative way of course.

Indeed, it is. Thanks for dropping by @gailbelga!

You are welcome. Just do not mind the negative comment(s) though.

Well noted kabayan, thanks again @gailbelga! :)

You are welcome dear.

I love the bed sheet and curtain. These are amazing designes. Wish I coukd get somethibg like this. Mermaid tail dress.

Thanks @gloglo! I'm sure it'll look good on you :)

Haha thank you. I might contact you to make designs for me and if you can you can make for others and it will help you grow as a designer. I support you on this my friend.

I would love to! But I'm afraid to say that I am not a dress designer, the concept just came up by accident. But why not? If given a chance, I will take the opportunity :)

Good... I want you to be optimistic about it. Great job.

The bed sheet just requires printing the material (dying) with the specific thought of where you are going to place the pattern piece.

The curtain looks like an effect you get by layering cloth. Its not hard, but you really need a dummy with the correct hip ratio so that you can pin each layer to it, seeing that each one lays properly.

Thats great analogy but the whole art work is cook and trust me if this is a physical dress people would so marvel at it.

They're beautiful.

This kind of creativity is insanely good, is this your own idea? You have forced me to follow you hahaha Galing kabayan

Thankssss kabayan! I actually discovered this by accident days ago when one of my sketches was ripped off by my little nephew. Then I thought this would be a great idea.

Thanks for dropping by kabayan! I would love to see your version soon! :)

very creative!

Thank you so much @jznsamuel!
