Below is a video clip example of Subtraction cutting. This has allowed me to explore innovation within Pattern Cutting using the fabric to create a pattern.
This was an easy technique and rather effective to the extent of an unrealistic emphasised dress. The final outcome of constructing a dress using Subtraction cutting allows you to compose a unique garment. Construction Techniques - Notes
- Patterns - Front and back, lining and 4 x circles.
- 2squares of fabric, 120cm by 270cm (full size)
- sew around the 3 edges creating a sack, 1cm seam allowance and then press.
- Lay patterns (front and back) on top fabric (any position possible)pin down and chalk around.
- Draw a simple line connecting the front and back together.
- Cut through the top layer and cut out the traced pattern.
- Join the underarms together, 1cm seam allowance.
- 2 circles per a tunnel, the circles = a hip circumference. (The circles lift the body up and you can place the circles on the front or the back.)
- Place and draw round the circles and cut through the first layer.
- Place circle on to circle and stitch together, 2x2
- Then attach the lining to the top of the dress, neck and arm holes.
- Finally stitch the straps together at the top by turning the dress inside out.
- Turn the dress through and attach lining to the dress.
