Fashion Technical Flat Drawings
8 weeks · 0 milestones
Industry-standard technical flat drawings for minimum 3 garments showing front and back views with all construction detail. Triad: technical execution artifact (flat drawings with all seam lines, topstitching, fastenings, gathering, and construction details clearly indicated — at a standard that could be used by a garment factory to produce the garment), documentation/critique artifact (fabric specification sheet for each garment: fibre composition, weight, colourway, finish, and initial sourcing notes — this is the technical brief a manufacturer would receive alongside the drawings). Proof Accessibility Rule applies: drawings may be created in Adobe Illustrator (student licence), CLO3D flat drawing tools, or hand-drawn to scale with accurate measurements — a ruler and accurate proportion are required regardless of medium. Studio critique: fashion design tutor or garment technologist reviews drawings for compliance with industry specification standards — decorative or inaccurate illustrations do not satisfy this standard. Proof: complete flat drawing set, specification sheets, critique notes. Verifier: fashion design tutor or garment technologist.

3 milestones
Study industry-standard fashion technical drawing conventions (front and back view, seam placement, topstitching notation, grain line indication). Measure and record key measurements from two reference garments in your collection, documenting construction details you observe.
Proof required
Submit your annotated notes on drawing conventions plus measurement records for two reference garments (photographs of the garments alongside hand-drawn or digital measurement records).
What gets checked
- Measurement records capture at least 8 key measurements per garment (bust, waist, hip, shoulder, sleeve, inseam, rise, hem)
- Construction notes identify specific seam types and finishes observed — not just 'seams are sewn'
- Drawing convention notes distinguish between topstitch, seam line, and grain line notation
