IADR 2025 Convention Workshop - "Creating a Silk Shantung Dress" by Elisabetta Bernardi
Workshop Description: This 6-hour workshop involves the creation of a dress in silk Shantung and the related crinoline on a mannequin. After a brief mention of the fabrics used, the instructor will demonstrate how to take measurements and make the pattern. Each student will have access to an information leaflet with photos and descriptions, the mannequin, the pattern, the fabrics, and all the materials needed for the tailoring. We will make the crinoline and sew the dress using needle, thread, and a sewing machine. At the end of the course, you will keep the mannequin with the dress you made.
Class Supplies: Materials required for student to bring are scissors, needle, and fabric glue.
The course is in Italian but we could make use of a translator (a natural person or technological support) and also be able to communicate in English.
As the convention will be held in Italy - fees have been converted from Euros to U.S. Dollars for the purposes of payment on this site.
