Fashion Illustrations vs Flat Garment Sketches
Welcome to another insightful video in which we discuss the differences and benefits of fashion illustrations and flat garment sketches. These two sketching techniques are often discussed in isolation, but combining them can create a more holistic view of the design journey.
🖌️ Fashion Illustrations capture the essence and vibe of a design, showcasing the styling aspects and the attitude or look the designer aims to achieve. They're particularly favored in high-end fashion for their artistic flair and ability to show complete outfits.
📐 Flat Garment Sketches, on the other hand, are the blueprints of a design, highlighting the technical details and structure. They're essential for mainstream and sports clothing brands, where time efficiency and technical accuracy are paramount.
🔍 Key Points Discussed:
The unique roles of fashion illustrations and flat sketches.
Why many companies prioritize flat sketches over illustrations.
The impact of 3D software on tech pack creation and the design process.
The balance and choice between creative expression and technical precision.
💡 The choice between fashion illustrations and flat sketches ultimately depends on the designer's preference and the company's requirements. It’s a creative or technical decision that shapes the narrative of each design.
🌟 What Do You Prefer?
Do you enjoy the fun, artistic feel of fashion illustrations or prefer the technical, proportional view of flat sketches? Share your thoughts in the comments!
Remember: It doesn’t have to be one or the other if you’re a solo designer. Combining both techniques gives two great perspectives of the clothes!

How to Copy a Pair of Pants | Part 2 - Smaller Pattern Pieces
I like your videos very much! I'm working in the fashion industry and we have problems with dresses and tops which are out of balance at front and back length. That means most of all styles are having front hike issues, due to missing front length. Unfortunately I couldn' t find any videos on your pages regarding this issue. However I hope you get this messages for more correction ideas. I really would appreciate, if you could create a video regarding correction like this. 🤗
Very good explaination! 👌
Mam not english lanuage more so please language change in hindi ❓how
I love the back yoke & pleats as a way to add to the across back area~ It prevents the issues that can arise with having to then adjust the armhole & sleeve if you widen it in the back armhole area .
Thanks for the explanation. I'm a visual learner so actual pics really help.
So glad it's helpful!
AMAZING!!! I'm Italian, but I still bought your book...to say the least fantastic! I find it really very very useful both as advice and to practice my English!!! Really a great product!!
I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the book and finding it useful, both for sewing advice and for practicing your English. It’s so nice when the content is useful in multiple ways.
Thank you so much for this! So extremely helpful and informative.
I'm glad it was helpful!
Thanks
You're welcome!
I get this but at the back on my pants, super annoying, whiskers are for cats not pants!!
Absolutely annoying. Maybe try this correction? ua-cam.com/video/mojEz-ylelw/v-deo.html
@@GinaRenee Thank you for the reply! I'm not capable of this though best I can do is sew a button 😄
Thanks for ur explanation
You're welcome
Why should we learn mam ?
Because it's the first step to envisioning your design before you create it. It helps you become a better designer.
Thank you for this invaluable information 🎉
It’s my pleasure 😊
Great explanation! Thank you!
So glad it was helpful!
Very interesting and detailed explanation, thank you!
I'm so glad you found it interesting! Thanks for tuning in! See you in the next videos.
Could you please share with me the pdf of pattern correction. It will be very helpful for learning pattern correction. Thanks!
All of the corrections are shown in The Fitting Book. You can find the book on Amazon and many online book retail stores. www.ginareneedesigns.com/the-fitting-book-printed/
Would you pls let me know what correction is for?
It's for this correction: ua-cam.com/video/ZbbVlAyorFs/v-deo.html It's in The Fitting Book on pages 212-215 along with the videos linked through QR codes in the book for the entire fitting series.
I just found your page and it’s been amazing being here, thank you ma. I would love to know the sketch app you are using ma please. And if you can recommend any material to study for me, I’m a novice Taylor😊
I'm using Adobe Illustrator in these videos. It's the most common computer app used in the clothing industry. I wish you success!
Do you also have a pattern for creating the legs or arms?
No, I only teach how to make the bodice portion from the moulage in the online course I teach.
@@GinaRenee thank you
so with the two sleeve edges we matc them up?
Yes, you'll want to match up the two sleeve edges so each piece goes together well.
Woaaaahhh
This is my exact problem. I'm trying to mock up the pattern before I go at a bolt of fabric I can't get any more of and, despite sizing up from the first time I made it, it is still tight in the areas you outlined. I'm going to try this after I've worn the mockup longer and note other things I might want to adjust. I appreciate the brevity of the video. You get right to the problem and then the solution.
I'm glad you've enjoyed the brevity of the video. I hope you're able to find out the exact amount of ease you need for the across back/chest area!
thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
❤❤❤
I have watched like a hundred video explaining shoulder width but non do it better than you. Thanx alot!🎉
Aaaawww, thanks for your nice feedback!
It’s also used heavily in historical sewing to give structure to a garment, specifically petticoats and hemlines of overskirts.
Definitely so!
Thank you
My pleasure!
How do you determine how much is needed when scooping the back? Is there a way to mark and measure? Thanks.
You should be pinning the back and the amount you pin is the amount you scoop.
So an inspirational video for me. I learned so much from you Gina! and I enthusiastically bought your "the fitting book". You give me so motivation and practical knowledge to keep going in my sewing jounrney. Your Passion will lead you to always growing success. Thank you ❤
Thank you so much for your really nice words, Elisabetta. I really appreciate it. I'm so glad you're taking such huge steps in your sewing journey. You're going to go far!
🤔 I think this book can help me as a home sewist to have more designs ideas and to see if these can be flattering on me, as a curvy woman...😊 thank you @GinaReneeDesigns
I think you'll enjoy it, Elisabetta! I'm so excited to see what you'll design!
Very inspiring! Thank you Gina
So glad you enjoyed it!
Check out The Fashion Design Book here: www.thefashiondesignbook.com
Gina how do you actually measure the excess fabric that’s been pinned??
Hi Allison, You can place a bendable tape measure starting at the pin and wrapping it around the fabric pinned to the other side where the pin is. That measures the full amount that has been pinned.

I was making a baseball jack with the lower capheight, but didnt like the draglines. So i changed to a high cap, but is there another way to get rid of those drag lines and keep the space for moving your arm freely? Should I change the armhole to a more straight line then?
I'm sorry for my delayed response. I've been sick over the last two weeks. Another option is to raise the armhole under the arm. This will then allow you to have a shorter cap height because the armhole is higher, allowing for more moveability. When it comes to functional activewear, "function" always trumps "looks" for fitting purposes. If the whole garment raises due to a taller cap height, it may be less functional. Comfort is key in functional activewear and many times, you need to accept the draglines so that there is enough movement. The movement allows for optimal sports performance.
@@GinaRenee thank you and hope you are ok now. So if I understand it correct, by raising the underline of the armhole your gap is getting smaller and so your sleeve will be narrower but with the space for movement cause of the low capheight? And the draglines will be less then. That is easier than making a sleeve adjustment for small arms! (Tried that now hahaha)
What software this is?
It's Adobe Illustrator
I wish I had seen this video a year ago. What way would you suggest that I, an elderly woman with body anomalies, can go about getting the best fit in clothing I choose to make? My upper body is not the problem but starting about the bottom of my ribcage my left side is obviously larger than the right.. This is partly residual from surgery roughly 29 years ago. Also I have lymphedema which is much worse on my left than the right. I am 5'8" with a pear shape. My most embarrasing feature in a large pertrusion the size of a basketball below my high hip and beginning of my left thigh. I only offer this detailing because it is just not being fat. I hesitate to wear anything that is not loose, and not flattering. Thanks in advance.
I'm sorry for my delayed response. I've been sick over the last two weeks. I can understand where you are coming from. When there are curved shapes in the body, as you mentioned, the best thing to do is imagine how else you could create design features that could work with those shapes. When it comes to a sloper or a moulage, you may need to have some additional darts to mold around the shape. Then, you can change those darts to be gathers, ruching, or pleats which can enhance the design aesthetic and move the eye to other parts of the body that you may want to enhance.
thanks
What if what I pinned does not extend to the princess seam line?
I'm sorry for my delayed response. I've been sick over the last two weeks. If the pin doesn't go all the way to the princess seam, you would still need to slash to the princess seam to be able to close it out. The other option would be to make a middle pivot point at the end of your pin, slashing in toward the end point from the princess seam and from the armhole seam. However, that would then make the princess seam longer on the side panel, and you would have to make the other princess seam longer.
