OOH YES it’s me I’m dropping the comment down below for plus sized construction tips!!!! My graduating collection will be this spring and I have at least one plus model so far and hopefully will have each of my models be a diff body type (we do 6 looks and get to pick all our models!) 🥰🥰🥰
Things to keep in mind: different body types have different needs, for example, and apple shape. We have large busts, short necks and thin legs. flattering choices are Narrow v necks(to elongate the neck) and the narrowest part of the body is right below the bust , so avoid designs that come in at the waist. Pears shapes look great in a boat neck and A line skirt, because they tend to have longer more defined necks, smaller busts and waist with larger thighs. Hourglass girls are the luckiest because they can pull off almost any style as long as it is tailored to fit. Zoe's color blocking suggestions were spot on and a great way to direct they and resculpt the figure. Best of luck on your collection!!!!!!!
@@discodiscordia Wow, I am not body shaming. I was describing different shapes and how to visually balance them from a design perspective because she asked for advice.
@@discodiscordia Would you rather oval and triangle? Obviously, women have more complex shapes, but I was typing on a phone and wasn't about to type women with a large bust whose waist is the same or bigger, with a short neck, broad shoulders, and thinner legs.(but you would probably take issue with that too) I'm not telling anyone what to wear just talking about balancing visual proportions from a design perspective. As in 40/60 versus 50/50 and shoulder princess vs armhole princess for a longer line. Also, empire lines should be lower because many women size 14 and up have larger breasts that sit lower, and that will give a better fit. We are talking about ready to wear fashion here.
PLEASE DO MORE of these Plus Size Fashion Design videos. There is nothing else on TH-cam like this that I have been able to find. This information is SOOOOOOO desperately needed. Bless you Zoe!
Hey Zoe, I love that you did plus. It's what I did before I started teaching. I'd like to add 1 more super important consideration when designing for plus.....UNDERGARMENTS. We can't go without 'em. I always made sure that tanks had straps wide enough to cover bra straps. Spaghetti straps are hard to wear because they don't make 40DD bras with delicate straps. Strapless bras are also hot and uncomfortable to wear under light and airy summer dresses. Always make sure there is an undergarment that can be worn with your design.
Yes! Please! A dress with a full circle skirt and a halter neck is theoretically great on a woman with a large chest and thick thighs, but the only option for comfortably supporting large breasts that doesn’t involve shoulder straps is a corset. Which, if you have a custom fit one is a great supportive option, but a) very few people do b) the dress isn’t shaped for that figure anyway, because almost no one has one.
Couple of things: it's not about grading up. It's about designing for different bodies *from the start.* Thinking about different bodies as part of collecting ideas for the initial designs is more organic within the process than forcing up, down, in, out, etc. Two: not all design has to be about making the body look smaller via texture or color. That's how we end up with sixteen different color blocked black and white a-line dresses in FF collections. It's boring. Last: giant armscyes look worse and make it more difficult to move. Please don't be afraid to set in the sleeve and use a freaking hidden gusset if you need to. I would kill for a dress shirt that fit my bust AND my shoulders without having to have it tailored. THANK YOU ZOE
Hi my name is Jiyou.5th grade (l don't have a phone, so this is my mom's phone) and I'm form Korea. Your videos help me to learn English and fashion design skills! I watch your videos because it's fun and I want to be fashion designer! Bye~❤
I live in an area with a larger number of more voluptuous women and no store that supports them. So I've decided to fill that gap. You are completely correct that too many designers just upscale designs without considering how the elements will transfer to a different shape. I believe there are certain shapes that a more flattering for different body shapes. Now I'm learning and critically assessing outfit designs and construction. This is video is so interesting.
"too many designers just upscale designs" People - who probably don't understand - get mad when they don't. I've seen new clothing companies get dragged online for not offering plus sizes. I'm looking at their clothes like, "Well, duh, those wouldn't work for us."
Yes, yes, please! Plus sized construction tips would be incredible! As a plus size person I'm tired of wearing clothes constructed for skinnier customers, only made larger. I want my future customers to feel like something was made to flatter them and their body types. Thank you for all your videos, Zoe; they've been really informative and helpful.
i can't believe back when i was smaller i never knew how it was to shop in the plus size markets until i became plus size myself i want to design characters that larger people can look up to like my little miss darkness character she's plus size like me
I would love a video on plus size construction considerations. Maybe some fabrics that hide lumps and bumps. Compression fabrics like power mesh in areas and where to use them. Thank you.
Yes Yes and Yes to every tip!! As someone who isn't tiny I tend to notice these things about "plus" size clothing as I shop and you are so right! I hate the back pocket placement on most pants as well as the yoke shape, but I especially hate them on plus sized pants because not only is the size and shape of said items often not flattering the placement is also off putting. The pockets are often way too low on the butt and usually way to far to the side and as a result make the but look flat and wide... as you can tell I have a long history of hatred when it comes to most things related back pockets (front pockets too, but that is for another day). Anyway now that I am done ranting.. excellent video full of great tips!
Definitely would love to see more plus size fashion design content. Let’s look at it from the perspective of celebrating our bodies, not trying to compensate or apologize or mask or downplay or disguise or ... you get the idea. Let’s design with richness and abundance in mind. Even when we’re being minimalist.
Zoe - your videos are always so good! I always wanted to go to fashion design school. As a person who has always been a larger size, I couldn't resolve the dissonance between the edgy, boundary-pushing, tiny-sized student work featured in the glossy school pamphlets and the frumpy lane bryant clothes in my closet - the most fashionable things I could find for my size at the time. I couldn't see how I could fit into that world so I chickened out. Now in my mid 30's I'm tired of paying too much for clothes I don't like, made from terrible fabrics, that don't fit me, so I am designing my wardrobe myself. So, in a way, I do get to fulfill my teenage dreams to be a fashion designer. Your videos have been invaluable to that process - so thank you! I feel that princess seams are a secret weapon for the curvy figure. Have you ever studied the tailoring on Dolly Parton's shirts and jackets? Princess seams all the way baby! And a testament to the idea that it is possible to fit and flatter any shape. Whoever is her tailor is a master of their craft. As a stout sized curvy-bodied consumer ("stout" being the term used to describe plus sized pre WWII) I feel like most of the design blunders in the plus-sized market stem directly from designers not understanding proper garment fitting on larger bodies. You are right that just continuing to grade up your pattern will almost never work for plus size because larger bodies have different bust/waist/hip ratios than the smaller sized bodies. It is really important to remember that fruit-monikered shapes (apple shape, pear shape, etc.) are exaggerated the bigger you get. This also means that you need to keep in mind that there is a bigger difference between standing measurements and sitting measurements - so be mindful of stretch and ease. There is nothing quite like loving how a pair of jeans fit in the fitting room only to get home, put them on, and sit down in them only to find you feel like a sausage. Thanks again Zoe! I too would love a construction video.
OMG! Love this, would like to see more on curvier women because the entire world is not a size 6. The average woman is a 14 to 18, trying to find these sizes in stores is impossible. Everything stops at a size 14 nowadays. I work in retail high end fashion, and for a lot of my women we have to reconstruct garments and tailor so much it’s ridiculous. I’m a fluffy woman as well and I have to explain to all my new clients we’re going to have to tailor & you won’t be able to wear that dress tonight or for the next month. It’s sad and exasperating.😢
Hi, I'm just learning to sew clothes, and most of my test subjects are older, heavier, and ...well saggy. Would you please dish the deets on how to dress people with loose skin (both post pregnancy and aged) so they will be comfortable, the clothes will stay where they're supposed to (especially pants that ride downward despite her wearing a tight belt), and also have an overall nice look? I'm also interested in hearing the specifics you mentioned, for + sized clothing.
YES! YES! YES! To a full "plus" size design series! I'm designing a sustainable size inclusive clothing line from xxs-6xl and I need more info on proper grading and design for curvy figures. There just isn't enough good info out there.
Yes please on the construction video!!! As a consumer of "plus size" (22-24 avg) I have had SO many issues with my clothes and it would be delightful to see a video that might help me keep an eye out for what to look for!
Excellent video! Yes when designing for fuller bodies one has to take into account proportions, like you mentioned the example of the rectangle vs. the square. And also its much more than grading the pattern to a bigger size because again the proportion and placement of lines can make or break the silhouette. Thanks Ms. Zoe Hong for all the knowledge you share on your wonderful channel!
I'm a rising senior in High School and after much contemplating I've decided I want to pursue a career in fashion...During quarantine I was confused on what I should do - I was stuck between fashion and music. But now I find myself bringing all of your videos haha I love your channel!!
Your brain is like a library!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, as someone completely new to sewing, i love your videos and have learnt so much already 💕
Oh my god! There is so much useful information on your channel, even for someone who is not following a fashion design career. Your channel is a gem 💎✨Thank you!
You are amazing! Any design and construction information for full figure shapes will be so appreciated. I have been sewing all of my clothes, no more FF, and am still learning how to fit by body so that my clothes look professional. Thank you so much for your help.
Thank you for this. I'm a start up, hoping to launch within 6-12months. would love more Plus size content. There more knowledge I have before launching the better!! :)
I would also love a video on construction considerations for more varied sizes (i.e. "plus size). Thank you for all of these videos! most of the things I've found about customizing patterns for more sizes are normally DIY methods and don't necessarily talk about designing for production.
thank you for this video! i'm looking forward to a plus size construction video. also i tried to join your patreon to listen to the podcast, and i couldn't find it.
Hi Zoe, I started falling in love with you. It's not just because of the info you give, the way you deliver it is amazing!!! there is no doubt that you are an amazing teacher. My siblings have no idea about fashion but I used to show them your videos just to make them love you too.... if it isn't you, I swear I could never thought of pursuing my dream.
I am so going to try the princess seams up through the shoulder! It looks amazing 👏 Thank you so much for that, Zoe, you've given me quite a few ideas for my next projects ❤
Pet peeve from a plus size woman If your doing some kind of embroidery or screen printed design SCALE IT UP I'm tired of getting cute t shirt my size online (also get plus size models even if you already have a skinny model) and then getting it and the design barely covers my boobs when it was suppose to go down to my stomach its just disappointing
Madame Zoe hiii I recently restarted my design spirit this pandemic with more time at home and you are a big inspiration. I will watch more of your work here😍😍😍
@@zoehongteaches oh my you replied thank you thank you you give me Life.Also was looking at a wardrobe staple 7days as a collection .I love dress coats,wide leg pallazo,pencil dress,a skirt !Help can this work?Thank you
I would like to see more about construction considerations for larger sizings. I would also like to see design for maximising movement ability both in stretch and non stretch if that is something you know about. I think it may be more of a theater knowledge though.
Hi Zoe, I have just found your tutorials and am loving them. Just in time for your return after your 6 month break, I would really appreciate a tutorial on plus sized construction. And croquis with larger tums and bums. Please. Thank you. xx
Hey Zoe, great video. I have a plus size dressmaking channel so the info learned in this video will be super helpful in informing the garment and pattern choices I make going forward, thanks!
Claire, your channel gave me the push to tackle figuring out how to fit my body so I can make the wardrobe I wish I could find in stores. Thank you for putting yourself out there! I needed to see someone who looked like me for it to click.
I just needed to say here that the video of yours how to become a fashion designer was the most inspirational compelling viewing I've watched in such a long time about the subject. It was different and vibrant and I felt liberated and I couldn't stop watching it either such was the fascination I experienced. I also couldn't comment because comments were turned off so I've come here to say thank you for that video and no response needed but I've subbed and I really find your attitude and presentation a breath of fresh air ❤️ greets from middle earth 🙃
I love you already! I enjoy the wealth of info you give us.... listening to your commentating reminds me of the Asian American comedian Ali Wong...😊 I have been introduced to you via Daniela Tabois 🙌🏼
I would really love to see some more plus sized videos on your channel! i found this fantastic and is quite eye opening. Would love to know more construction tips and any other videos you have thought about doing about plus sized!
whoa I was just thinking about this ! i want to make clothes for my grandma bc she finds the plus size clothing in stores boring and i just got a sewing machine. would love to hear you go in more depth!
Thank you for these videos :D I am adding my comment for more plus size construction! I'm hoping to design my own patterns/clothes for apple shape (mostly for myself but maybe for sale in the future) and would love to hear more about plus size considerations. Your videos are the best!!
Hey! Love your videos! I would love to know how to adjust the back of a pattern, for that little bad posture bump. I never like the back of my garments because the collar always sits weird if it is near that back bump. Thanks!
i would love a video on how to size plus size models and just sizing in general because I've found very few information on how to make garments for people and I'm so confused on whether to get several models to try and fit a general demographic, or to look at competitors sizing charts im just really confused and would really love if you could help. Thanks for the videos!

I also couldn't comment because comments were turned off so I've come here to say thank you for that video and no response needed but I've subbed and I really find your attitude and presentation a breath of fresh air ❤️ greets from middle earth 🙃

Hey! Love your videos! I would love to know how to adjust the back of a pattern, for that little bad posture bump. I never like the back of my garments because the collar always sits weird if it is near that back bump. Thanks!
Slash and spread the back across your shoulder blades, horizontally, like a reverse dart.
Thank you 👍🏾

Thanks for the videos!
