Gina Dunham Renee og Gina Renee Dunham The Curvy Fashion Design Book

Have you always wanted to design a clothing collection that completely reflects your style? It all starts with getting those designs and ideas out of your head and onto paper. Whether you are making a fashion design portfolio or sewing for yourself, the better you can draw, the better you'll visualize your designs before they come to life. This book will teach you how to sketch and design clothes for curvy or plus-size women. It will guide you through the process with free step-by-step videos (through QR codes). More than 40 free videos linked through the book teach you how to design, sketch, and render your fashion sketches. The entire book is a mix-and-match library of sketches to assist you in creating your designs. You select the parts you want. For example, choose one neckline, sleeve design, and dress silhouette to create a unique style. This book contains flat garment sketches for womenswear. A flat sketch is a 2-dimensional visual of how the garment looks from an overhead perspective when it is flat on a table. Flat sketches are more accurate in the design proportions, helping the designer envision the style and plan the sewing process. Except for the few extra blank pages to add to your library, this is not a sketchbook where you draw your designs inside the book. There are two methods of using this book: 1) As a template for tracing; 2) As a reference to see how to draw the designs. If you are a beginner, the tracing method is beneficial until you understand the proportions. Use this book in conjunction with tracing paper or thin marker paper for this method. Place the tracing or marker paper on the style details and silhouettes to draw your designs. As you become more advanced, you will likely move onto the second method of simply referencing the sketches as needed and draw without tracing. This is the curvy version of the book, which is suitable for women's US sizes 12 and up (EU sizes 42 and up). There is a standard version of the book, which is called The Fashion Design Book , and that is suitable for women's US sizes 0-10 (EU sizes 30-40). Search for The Fashion Design Book if you prefer that option. Both books have the same content, just different sizes. In both books, there is a full-length video showing you how to customize your croquis to your size. Many styles show examples of how to draw design details. Get creative with what is here. Mix and match as you like. Your designs will start to flow once you begin.
