Drafting & Sewing: Modern Cheongsam

This course offers a comprehensive exploration into the creation of the modern Cheongsam, a timeless garment recognised for its refined silhouette and precise construction. With the growing demand for well-engineered, custom-fitted apparel, this course equips learners with advanced drafting, sewing, and production techniques that support both bespoke work and small-scale industrial output. As contemporary consumers increasingly value well-made garments that balance tradition with modern wearability, the Cheongsam remains an iconic piece that showcases technical skill, design sensitivity, and structural finesse.
 

Learners will gain insights into drafting Cheongsam blocks tailored to individual measurements, with a strong focus on shaping, panel alignment, and seam engineering to achieve a clean and flattering fit. The course also introduces industrial engineering principles used in professional production environments, including efficient cutting processes, accurate construction sequencing, and essential quality-control checks. These methods ensure that each garment meets consistent standards while preserving the elegance and craftsmanship associated with the Cheongsam. High-quality finishing techniques will be covered in detail, enabling learners to work confidently with structured, delicate, and decorative fabrics typical of modern Cheongsam designs.
