Build Your Foundational Expertise

Building upon the complete foundation of all previous modules, Course 5 introduces the specialised world of corsetry, structured undergarments, and advanced draping foundations. Students begin by drafting a corset for a class-sized dummy before moving on to basic customisation. Achieving a proper fit requires hours of practice, homework, and necessary alterations; true mastery comes from the student's own hard work and dedication outside of class rather than the course alone.

Through precise drafting, bra cup construction, and introductory draping techniques, students will learn the essential frameworks required for complex, high-precision silhouettes.
