since my pattern making and design class curriculum starts with skirts, i had to complete two skirts of my own design to finish the first section and get on to the fabulous and exciting moulage.*
the first is an exaggerated empire waist skirt with dart releases down the front, two kick pleats in the back, and inseam pockets. sewn in a purple bull denim with a little bit of stretch. a zipper down the center back.
the second is a mini pencil skirt with a three inch wide straight waistband, pleating in the front to create volume, inseam pockets, and pleats in the back instead of darts. made of a grey plaid fabric.
*Moulage is the foundation of the pattern drafting system taught by the Ecole Guerre-Lavigne in Paris. This is a system of measuring the figure, calculating, and drafting a pattern that will fit the torso like a second skin, incorporating any of the infinite variations of shape the human figure can take.
