When you're sketching your clothes, do you draw your models to scale and proportion?
I'm just wondering because in my fashion class at school I am doing a fashion illustration module and I don't actually get to sketch the clothes until much later on! First I have to learn how to draw models to proportion! When I sketch fashion on my own time, I never draw to proportion! It's the clothes I'm worried about.... not the body.

I try to sketch to proportion as much as possible so I can see how an idea is going to translate to the finished garment. I do a lot of vcitorian/civil war/baroque reproductions and the draping and pleating involved can get hairy.
If I don't plan carefully first, the dress can end up looking like a window treatment threw up on it.

Usually its a must, if you've seen some of the other designers work, they look very fast and undone...but some are proprortionate and anatomically correct...in the end, it really is just your own stylization of your croquis, everyone does them differently

when i first design things, i usually draw them on a quick little figure..but i put them on a proportional fashion figure before i render/ color them in and do seam detail.. i dont do the whole "10 heads thing" anymore though..i just kinda estimate (* 10 heads= the size i was told a figure should be...it changes though i guess depending on instruction)

I draw clothes on figures proportionally similar to myself, not to fashion models. That means that they're shorter than "normal" fashion sketches.
I don't think about drawing proportionally, because it just happens. I've drawn and redrawn people enough times that I have a pretty good feel for what I'm doing. I started out with costume design, and you really have to know bodies when you're doing that.

well if your people are all wonky and incorrect, when you go to actually make your clothes, it could turn out entirely different, because you dont have enough room where you thought you had room. I think its very important to have at least somewhat correct figures in drawing models for clothes, especially if you expect someone else to see it and be able to visualize it on a real person.

It's just the drawing itself though... when it comes to actually making the clothing, I wouldn't go from the proportions of the figure in the drawing, I'd obviously go by the proportions of my dress form, or who the clothing is actually for. It's just a drawing!
