Developments in pattern cutting














-Kick pleat
Kick pletes are generally used in womans tight fitted skirts. Kick pleats are put into various types of fold formed by the doubling of fabric back upon itself and then pressing and stiching intoshape. The purpose is to allow the wearer greater ease whilst walking.

- Block skirt
Our group task was to pattern draft a skirt block using cardboard as a template. We used a size 12 template we found this is a realistic size to be able to fit to a model. We also found whilst doing this task it is better to have the clothing bigger and more loose fitted to the model so adjustments can be made to fit the model rather than the garment being to small and having to make the skirt all over again because the garment is to tight.
