This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce patterns for costumes for screen and live entertainment productions using 2D and 3D methods. It applies to individuals adept at interpreting sketches from costume designers, proportioning, and developing patterns through a combination of flat pattern making and construction, and pattern draping (moulage) of fabric onto a 3D dress form over corsetry and undergarments or underpinnings. They usually work with some supervision and guidance, but have scope to be creative as they work on designs. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECUs LMS

Evidence of the ability to: - interpret costume designs - apply research findings to the process of developing costume patterns - use flat pattern cutting and draping methods to develop costume patterns that meet design, production and performers’ requirements - use toiles or fittings with performers to test patterns use patterns to cut fabric for costume components in readiness for construction phase plan work to meet deadlines.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must: - outline roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in constructing costumes - explain the relationship between costume designs and final patterns - describe key features and properties of a range of fabrics and their suitability for different designs - describe techniques for cutting patterns - explain the principles and techniques of costume construction - identify typical problems that may arise in the context of cutting and draping costumes and briefly describe solutions - describe work health and safety procedures that apply to pattern development work.
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to: - fabric, tools and equipment to produce blocks and patterns - information sources about historical costume designs. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
