Job Sequence

Frock style
Creating beautiful frocks involves understanding the basics of pattern development. Here are some approaches
to design and develop patterns for different frock styles:.
1 A-line frock pattern

- The A-line frock is a classic silhouette that flares out gently from the shoulders to the hem. It’s versatile and
suits various occasions.
- Pattern drafting steps:

▪ Start with a basic bodice block (sloper) that fits well.
▪ Extend the bodice downward to the desired length (usually knee-length for A-line frocks).
▪ Gradually widen the side seams from the underarm to the hem, creating an A-line shape.
▪ Add darts or shaping as needed for a flattering fit.

▪ For sleeves, choose from short, cap, or three-quarter length.
▪ Neckline options can include round, V-neck, or boat neck designs.
▪ Remember to include seam allowances.
Layout and cutting
▪ Lay out your pattern pieces on the fabric, ensuring the grainline is straight.
▪ Cut the fabric following the pattern lines.

▪ Assemble the frock by sewing the bodice, sleeves, and skirt together.
2 Hip line frock pattern
- The hip line frock emphasizes the waist and hips, creating a feminine silhouette.
- Pattern Drafting Steps:
