I found this video very inspiring. You’ll see how from a simple idea sketched on paper you start to build the prototype of the dress.
The prototype technique is to define the types and volumes of the garment by casting a neutral cotton directly on the mannequin dressmaker with pins.
The prototype allows the designer to make a first impression of the final appearance of his creation and it is essential to carry out the boss of the model.
