Subtraction

Subtraction cutting is a more experimental method and relies less on mathematics than conventional pattern cutting.

I really enjoyed learning about subtraction cutting. At first I was a bit dubious, as pattern cutting can be complicated and very technical, however the fact that we managed to make a half size dress in a day is proof that actually it is an easy process. The results were also amazing everyone ended up with a different outcome, and it was an exciting way of creating interesting draping and volume. I would definitely consider experimenting with subtraction again.

The end result!
