Class
Description
This
course involves
a step-by-step process
to learn exciting
new techniques for
creating a custom
costume for any
doll. The focus
will be on fabric
and trim selection,
balancing colors
and learning how
to design and sew
a unique costume
using Adele’s
draping methods.
Adele’s objective
is to have every
student walk away
with a greater understanding
of creative costuming.
This class will
give you the tools
for creating a costume
and help you get
over any fear you
may have of mixing
of fabrics, textures,
colors and trims.
Each student will
be required to make
a basic body before
the class, for which
Adele will provide
the pattern. The
pattern will be
appropriate for
all experience levels.
Students will not
have to paint
the face or put
on any hair unless
they want to, once
the costuming is
done.
