Styles such as bias cut skirt, six-pieces, gathered, pleated skirts, would be analyzed and brought to life.

The close-fit bodice block is also manipulated in this course, resulting in more complex bodice styles- such as cowl neck, raglan, illusion neck off shoulder, etc.

The emphasis of this course is a fitted bodice.

Corset Course

This course is for an Advance designer, who already knows how to sew and cut fabric, into various designs (whether using patterns or free hand), who are looking to improve their skills and knowledge. He/ she must be ready to unlearn and relearn, in order to make the most of this experience.

We have had t...
