1/3/2023 0 Comments Pants sketch fashion men![]() ![]() The only thing I’d want to ask is about the skirt. The bust obviously gathers into the midriff. She’s spec’ed it to include a side zipper, I can see it’s fitted. I picked this next one because I want to illustrate that a sketch doesn’t have to be a work of art to be usable. The bust portion has (necessary) gathers where it meets the midriff. I don’t know if you can see the midriff cupping the bust. The asymmetrical top on the left hits perfectly under the bust. I’m guessing this girl either sews or sketched on the basis of a photo of a well fitting garment. Watch those seam lines, copying them from existing garments. Usually designs aren’t this obvious but we won’t know which you really want and which you really don’t. Not to say it’s not done but the design usually has interesting design lines compelling the project. Cutting the front and the sleeves in one piece will use much more fabric than you can possibly imagine. There were tons of these so I won’t elaborate beyond this one example. This next one I describe as an allocation nightmare. And designers get mad or insinuate you’re incompetent if you tell them that! This is probably the number one problem with sketches. People think that just because they can draw it, it can be made as illustrated. Hands down, this is the biggest problem with sketches. I call this next one, “just because you can draw it -or photoshop it- doesn’t mean you can make it”. Now imagine what this would look like in denim. Allowing for turn back on the under pleat (multiply by 3) and we’re talking serious fabric allocation. Doubling that and we have a total waist measurement of 60″ on this pleated “pencil” skirt. The sketch shows 11 pleats which -just for the front- finishes at 30″ inches. The spec for the pleats are 2.5″ with a 5/16 gap between them. An accurate illustration would show the skirt significantly wider than it is long. The conflict is between the description, costs, and width and quantity of pleats. #PANTS SKETCH FASHION MEN PLUS#How can a pleated skirt be a pencil skirt? Made as sketched, this is plus sized but I don’t think that’s what the designers (a dad and daughter) intended. ![]() Somehow, I don’t think it’ll come out like that.ĭon’t laugh at this next one, I see stuff like this all the time. This designer’s made a notation that this will “camouflage the tummy”. I can’t tell if this poorly made pattern has become so prevalent that people now think it’s supposed to be that way, or they’ve decided they like the look. Recently, there’s been a spate of poorly made tops that have the empire “waist” riding the bust line rather than under the bust where it belongs. There’s no way to know whether the designer really wants it that high -riding just below the nipple- or if the band is supposed to hit under the bust. The height of the band on this next one annoys me. And by the way, sketches like these are very typical! A service provider is going to wonder which it is. Nine inches isn’t a low rise, that’s waist high. There’s a conflict between the description “low rise” and the provided measurement of 9″. This pant also doesn’t have a CB seam, something that comes up repeatedly. I don’t know how you can have a “high waist hip hugger” (below). While we don’t expect you to have the lingo down, try not to be contradictory with your descriptions. On the other hand, some very unattractive ones were entirely suitable for working purposes. An aesthetically pleasing sketch really isn’t important. Thus, I’ve selected a few to share with you with an eye towards improving your renderings when passing it off to a service provider. I decided to do something productive with it, namely design sketch analysis. Sometimes when you click through on a design, the page looks blank – scroll up, it’s there. I think it qualifies as an attractive nuisance. ![]() And there is wreckage galore with guts strewn mile after mile, making it hard not to stare. As you can imagine, that’s where the car wreck comes in. There, anyone can upload their ideas and Levi’s (and you) pick the winner. I tell you, everybody’s gotta get into the act. Aren’t you annoyed by people rubber necking as they drive by car wrecks? I found one on the web that just won’t let me go. ![]()
