I will try to scan in my final project sometime late next week - it's a series of five, following the history and shaping of corsets... |

[ 1 ] sprice:
Tasha, this depiction of the darts finally made pleats make sense to me. Heck, finally made contoured clothing from one cloth make sense. |

[ 2 ] cgroom:
So, why are some body lines dotted while others are solid? |
|
cutler:
Cool! I guess I didn't realize (though it seems kind of obvious now) what careful measurements and planning are necessary for something like a sheath that has to be tight and smooth. Are the triangular regions in each piece where material will be cut out so that the piece fits around a curve? |

mwirth:
I like the retro hairstyle. Adds some personality to a "generic" model. |
|
mwirth:
Say, didn't you have a mermaid drawing up before? |
|
tasha:
Chris - Yay! You had just the sort of reaction I was working for. Actually, you would need many of these measurements for most garments. Yes, the triangular regions are 'darts' - which you sew first, _then_ trim. Really good patterns have darts that are slightly curved, not straight as shown above.
Michelle [Rat (?)] - I'm glad you dig the hair ; ]. Yes, there was a mermaid, but I took her down because nobody said anything about her for a long time. If you want to see her again, I think I have her around here somewhere... |

I like this as a piece of 2d art, also. It is a blueprint for something functional, but there's more, too -- the four pieces in each corner which differ slightly, the body which is almost just manequin, except that it has shoes and retro-hair. Tidy composition, but generates lots of questions. |
|
tasha:
How about generating some of those questions, eh? Knowing what your questions _are- will surely help me with my work...
The dotted lines are the measurements - like the basics of chest/waist/hips, inseam, outseam, and other etceteras. |
