Some assignment

TR Cutting

TR cutting is a new pattern making technique that was developed by a Japanese guy called Shingo Sato. The idea of sewing a basic darted blocks and put it on the mannequin, then create stylines on the toiles itself, create shapes that would have more fluidity that drafting itself could hardly achieve.

I found that I liked the idea of the bamboo method the most so that I use it on the slightly-modified neckline bodice. To complete the garment, I added a short straight skirt, with TR cutting technique on the side seam detailing.

I added a layer of lace to differentiate the panels that I cut, and I added an outer skirt to give up more drama.

When I see the garment on the mannequin after I finished it, I kind of regretting my decision by adding the outer skirt. it covers the paneling details on the side seam.

I would take out the skirt if I had time, but apparently, it is too late for now. I could have made a better design. ALTHOUGH, I managed to line the whole thing in time.

Subtraction Cutting ( remove )

Rather than creating patterns for designs, the Subtraction Cutting technique involves designing with patterns and working in 2D and 3D forms. The resulting shape of the garment is created by the removal of fabric rather than the addition of fabric and therefore the creation of negative space which the body occupies. It is an exploratory process aiding the revelation of previously undiscovered shapes and consequently continually results in undefined outcomes.

importance of looking at patterns from different perspectives and highlights the importance of realising that patterns have movement in that they can fold, twist, roll zigzag and tie themselves in knots. A pattern can be a story that unfolds, ending in a garment. the process of cutting and sees mistakes as an advantageous part.
