We've been given a project on Fashion Terminology to keep us busy over Easter. Over the two weeks we've been asked to research the terms:
Tailoring, Deconstructing, Bias Cut, Recycling, Asymmetry, Padding, Ruched, Fraying, Pleating (knife pleat, box pleat, inverted pleat, partial pleat, projecting pleats, accordion pleasts, wrinkled pleats), Gathering, Gosset, Godet, Gore, Tucking, Cording, Darts (standard 4 darts, Arm Eye darts, centre front darts, H darts, French darts, Irregular Darts, Princess Seam), Boning, Layering, Knotting.
I'm actually quite excited about this project. There are many terms in the list that I am not confidently familiar with so I'm looking forward to doing a bit of research on them to see how they can be applied in different ways to garment construction. I'll do my best now to post interesting examples of each term!
