The transformation of the design of the product in order to change its basic characteristics is called the modeling process. What is the basic design, and what are the ways to create clothes?
The basic design is a thing in its original form. If you understand what modeling is, you can save a lot on buying new things and always stay in trend.
Nowadays, people get a lot of information using online sources, where the videos clearly demonstrate the technique of execution (plus you can review the points of interest as many times as you like). But modeling lessons can, of course, be passed through the study of magazines on special topics. In addition, there are courses in which, in practice, under the supervision of a leader, anyone can apply their theoretical knowledge and work through mistakes, if any.
Methods for modeling clothes
There are several types of changes in the basic design of clothing. They will help any housewife update her wardrobe:
- A transformation in which the shape of the product does not change.
- Conversion of the silhouette, without changing the supporting sections of the three-dimensional shape of the product.
- The initial form changes dramatically.
- Transformation of cut sleeves.
- Getting hybrid designs.
To make clothes modeling using the first method, it is enough to transfer the darts and dividing lines, to combine the individual elements of the product. Also, details can be performed in sizes smaller than the original, to design folds. Not to change the shape of the garment, but to give it a new look will help the transformation of the collar and pockets.
Modeling: what is tuck translation?
With the help of tucks, a uniform fit of the material to the human body is carried out. And assemblies and pinches can create a replacement for tucks.
The area of contact of the body with clothing is called the reference point. In the event that the seam at the reference points is absent, the tuck is partially preserved. It is possible to change the basic design of a product without using its reference points under certain conditions:
- Perform a waist line shift (slightly higher or lower).
- Change the degree of fit of the material to the body.
- To expand / narrow the form down. By the way, the base pattern can be expanded using the parallel or conical expansion method.
A fundamental change in the shape of the base structure
What is a simulation with a complete transformation of the original form of the model? In contrast to the method of changing things discussed above, in this case, work is also carried out at reference points. The basis of this method is:
- change in volume in the chest area;
- transformation on the width of the shelf and back;
- transformation along the length of the sleeves.
It is worth noting that such modeling of the shape of things usually requires additional constructive divisions and modeling of darts, which are basic.
Changing the details of clothing includes various methods in which, for example, a set-in sleeve (basic design) is combined with a back or front. Or in the future, they are divided using new lines.
To get a completely new look of the product, a chain of complex transformations is used, and the design with the closest type to the base is taken as the basis. Such new types of clothing (which are most widely used) include capes, overalls, shorts, etc.
What should be considered when modeling?
As you can see, there are many options for how to transform your clothes. You can completely change its shape or leave it unchanged by modeling only individual parts with sleeves. But do not forget about the nuances:
- Be sure to pay particular attention to who the item is for. Consider the age category, and especially the physique of a person.
- Proper clothing should hide imperfections and demonstrate the virtues of a figure. Also consider the relevance of the model and modeling.
- Before you begin the transformation, clearly think about what you want to get in the end. Mark the steps for yourself, make the necessary measurements and pick up all the necessary tools.
It's never too late to try yourself in the role of a real designer and please yourself and your loved ones with new things!
