After this workshop students will never need costume patterns again! Adele shared her secrets for selecting fabric, trim types and colour harmony, in order to create a well-balanced designer doll costume. Students learned the invaluable art of draping, as well as the technique for customizing sleeves and upper and lower body pieces. Just think, no sketching, no drafting, no pre-sewing of patterns, just the desired final results! It is a priceless step-by-step process that anyone can learn. Adele even promises a student fashion show at the end of class along with a few other surprises.
