Tailoring

Consists of basic and advanced techniques and material theory to be able to create a three-dimensional model with structure and shape including tailoring technique, press technique, fitting technique and material theory.

Through tailoring techniques, it must be possible to translate an individual design into a modern, high-quality product. The product is processed with iron-on inlay materials, so that it achieves a functional and period-typical expression. The student must gain an understanding of form, finish, materials and technique at a high level of craftsmanship, and is able to produce a product containing an original expression.

A classic task is reviewed, including pattern cutting, stiffening, pressing technique, adaptation to mannequin, lines and shapes, adaptation of buttons, pockets, lapels and so on. Patterns are then adapted to the students’ individual goals, and the students carry out the task in every detail – not least in terms of showing an understanding of fashion in connection with tailoring. The students will thus be able to use the learned procedure and technique for a fixed task. Prior to the start of this course, the students have carried out tailoring-related sewing and cutting tasks.
