Velvet Velour
Using a half scale model, I draped a circle skirt and princess seam bodice with an extreme deep V neck. I adjusted the sleeve to create fullness around the wrist and added a cuff. After draping, pattern pieces were scanned into Clo3D and scaled up for a size 6 avatar.
All pieces were placed into Clo and onto the 3D avatar where they were each assigned a location and duplicated for the full garment. I adjusted seam lines and assigned sewing lines for construction.
​
After the fit of the garment was correct, I added a second skirt layer for depth and fullness. Fabric was chosen and color was assigned.
I choose a Ruby velvet fabric from Clo3d for the weight and flare it provided and added repeating button details along the bodice seams and cuffs.
