ability to draw garments efficiently
and effectively. In short, a student
who does not understand the basic
elements of fit and shape will be less

indicative of a fully resolved garment
design in two dimensions. It is
always a good idea to draw a flat
or spec as if you had to give it to
someone to cut or drape without
you there to explain it.
The third visualisation process that
makes up a flat or spec is the
application of detail lines. These
include topstitching and other visual
surface applications, such as a patch
pocket, for example, which does not
affect the fit of the garment but is
integral to its final presentation.
