From Construction to Modeling

​

2-Week Program | Twice a Week | 4 Hours per Class | Total: 16 Hours

Schedule : December 3,8,10,15 from 5.00-9.00 pm 

Master one of the most essential—and most challenging—areas of garment construction: perfectly fitted pants.

This advanced pattern making block is designed to deepen your technical understanding of lower-body fit while guiding you through the process of drafting a professional pants block from your own measurements. You’ll learn how to analyze balance, movement, and proportion, and transform a single foundation into multiple pant styles using professional modeling techniques.

​

If you’ve struggled with pant fit before, this course will change the way you understand and construct garments.
