Fashion Design: Princess Seam Examples

Video Transcript

Our next lines from the dress form that we talked about earlier, the garment construction lines, are the princess seam lines. They're also called sewing lines. Princess seam, I think, is a little misleading because you automatically are going to think in your mind, "oh, princess seam jacket." Not necessarily. You can have it in a dress, you can have it in a shirt. There it just means that the seams are going from the shoulder line to the hips and it cuts the figure in fourths. These lines are going to represent the fitted look of your garment, where in actual construction techniques, the darts, darts, are going to give it the fitted, tight shape or seams at the curve are going to pull the fabric together as you sew and keep it in close to the body. Basically, this is just going to represent something close to the body. In some garments that aren't as fitted, you can still have princess seams, but it's going to be a draped look and it's going to flow with the body as opposed to shove up against it.
