In this assignment, we started exploring our final adaptive clothing product line through sampling and pattern-making. We are required to confirm the product direction with toile samples. We tried different techniques and design details, finalizing the product line through discussions. Additionally, we continued using CLO3D to explore various design details. We had to submit a final garment with detailed design and fabrications, which didn’t necessarily have to be related to our adaptive clothing project.

Assignment Brief:

Task 1: CLO3D Details and Fabrications. 

Design a full garment in CLO3D, exploring different details and fabrications we covered in class. Mapping, textures, trims, and seams details are required and a MUST. A solid understanding of pattern structures to be. Design has to embed the coming details:

• Zips (along with adjustments of trims as teeth and pullers)
• Topstitching details
• Fabrications and textures
• Binding, piping and elastics. 

Task 2: Exploring Adoptive designs and patterns in toils experimentations. 

Start exploring adoptive designs as toils from idea explorations to finalising and confirming techniques of your line. Toils to be explored in pattern details and elements, and sewing techniques to fit with the decided upon market segment. Finalise toil techniques in almost finalised shapes through stitching and assembling, fine stitching techniques is a MUST.

For this CLO3D second assignment, I explored more tools and techniques beyond what I learned in the first assignment. I learned how to apply zippers, elastic bands, piping, binding, topstitching details, various fabrications, and textures. I decided to create a modified top with ruffles on one shoulder and a zipper opening on the side, with an elastic band long skirt.

Creating the Top

1. Pattern Drafting:
• I started by drawing the pattern from scratch, creating a basic tank top, and unfolding the pattern. I copied the pattern for the front and back.
• I created a line to cut off one sleeve, adjusted the line, and removed the unwanted parts.
2. Adding Ruffles:
• I created a rectangular shape and added arrangement points to create a smooth curve.
• I made two layers of ruffles and stitched them onto the armhole.
3. Finishing Touches:
   • I added a zipper on the side, editing the zipper teeth and puller to create an invisible zipper.
   • I also added piping on the neckline and binding for the lower part of the top.

Creating the Skirt

1. Pattern Drafting:
   • I started with a basic skirt pattern block and stitched the sides together.
2. Elastic Waistband:
   • I created three rectangular shapes for the waistband: one for the elastic band and two for the outer and inner parts of the waistband. 
   • Adding internal lines, making them elastic using property editor.
   • I stitched all three layers of the elastic waistband onto the skirt, along with the internal lines, creating an elastic band. 
3. Adjustments:
   • I adjusted various properties such as width, particle distance, and topstitching details for the skirt hem.
4. Fabrication:
• I added a leather fabric texture to both the top and skirt, adjusted the color, intensity, desaturation, reflection, and other properties.

Final Look

This assignment allowed me to delve deeper into CLO3D and enhance my digital pattern-making skills. It was a challenging but rewarding process that improved my understanding of garment construction and finishing details.
