- Role
- Fashion Merchandising & Design, Virginia Tech
- Objective
- Communicate construction, proportion, and detail through precise, industry-standard technical flats.
- Tools
- Adobe IllustratorTechnical FlatsSpec Drawing
- Result
- A set of front-and-back technical flats covering blouses, tailoring, knit and woven separates, and outerwear, drawn clearly enough to brief a maker or vendor.
Challenge
Translate garment ideas into unambiguous technical drawings a maker or factory could produce without guesswork.
Approach
Built each flat in Adobe Illustrator with accurate seams, closures, and proportions, drawn front and back.
Creative Direction
Kept a consistent line weight and callout style across the set so the flats read as a professional tech pack.
Execution
Drew the set as complete front-and-back specs: a plaid puff-sleeve blouse with a tie neck, a jumpsuit, layered vest and top variations, a fitted bodice with a tiered skirt, a collared tunic over slim trousers, and a tailored coat over trousers.
Outcome / What I Learned
A technical-design set that pairs with the illustration work to show both the creative and production sides of design.
