Dress Design Course

What will I learn?
In this course, you will learn how to apply colour theory, visual design principles, and silhouette (garment shape) knowledge to create original dress designs. You will develop hands-on skills in fabric evaluation, body measurement, and garment fit analysis for a wide range of body types. You will draft bodice, skirt, and sleeve blocks from scratch and manipulate darts and seams to achieve varied design shapes. Construction techniques cover professional seam finishing, lining, closures, and hem methods. You will also explore casual, cocktail, and formal dress variations, sustainable design practices, and digital tools used in the industry. The course concludes with a complete design collection and a polished portfolio ready to present to clients or employers.
