Description: | Modelling on-the-stand involved interpreting a fashion sketch into a three-dimensional design which was achieved by pinning, draping and cutting a soft cotton fabric, usually Leno or Mull, on dress stand until the desired effect was obtained. The fabric was then marked and ready to be used as a pattern. This was a technique in which many of the dressmaking trade teachers excelled. Although former dressmaking senior and evening class students testify to learning modelling on-the-stand in the 1930s, the archive of the London College of Fashion has no photographs of this process being carried out during the inter-war period. | Subjects: | photograph female students dresses dress stands Dressmaking class: dressmaking class womenswear modelling on the stand | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Photographer unknown Creator Corporate Name: London College of Fashion | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7613... | Go to resource |
