What will I learn?

You will learn to take precise performer measurements, draft bodice, trouser, skirt, and sleeve blocks from scratch, and manipulate darts to achieve any silhouette a designer requires. The course covers period costume research and pattern adaptation across eras from medieval through contemporary. You will also tackle specialty categories including tailored outerwear, stretch performance wear, and costume armour. Pattern grading, size adaptation, and inclusive fitting techniques for diverse body types are fully addressed. By the end, you will manage a complete production workflow — from interpreting design sketches to archiving final pattern packages.
