What’s this in the photos? Sophie tutor’s ‘toile’ for a bralette (never sure how to spell that) pattern, that’s what!
This is how we work out pattern blocks for all our students, nothing generic - all bespoke for the needs of our young creatives. This pattern will form the base of a tailoring project based around Alexander McQueen. I know you’re thinking, where’s the tailoring in that bralette but wait and see what the 11 - 16 come up with in July.
What’s a toile? Aha! In this instance a toile is an early version of a finished garment made up in deadstock material so the design can be tested and perfected. We rarely ‘finish’ a toile when we prepare patterns and the start of the design process as we like to experiment with the shape, detail and proportion.
Really helpful breakdown of what a toile is, and I just used gesture synth online to see more examples of these practice pieces. It's so interesting that each one is bespoke for the students rather than generic. I'm now curious to see how the bralette base evolves into that Alexander McQueen-inspired project.
I never knew what a toile was until reading this at codex pets. Using deadstock material for these test versions makes so much sense—it lets you play around with shape and proportion before committing to anything. Can't wait to see what the young creatives come up with for the McQueen-inspired tailoring project.
