De la volum la plan, geometria tiparului vestimentar
From Volume to Flat Pattern, The Geometry of Garment Construction

Summary/Abstract: The human body is a three-dimensional volume composed of ovoids (head), cylinders (torso and limbs), cones (arms and legs), and a rectangular parallelepiped (pelvis). The dressmaker must understand these shapes and their succession of curves—the rhythms of the body—to create patterns that respect proportions and allow natural movement. The pattern, as a two-dimensional surface, translates these volumes through lines, curves, and construction lines, anticipating both the static shape and mobility of the body. The dart represents the essential geometric element that provides depth and shapes the material's volume. The transformation 3D → 2D → 3D highlights the role of geometry as a common language between the body, the pattern, and the material, providing both a theoretical and practical framework for the study of dressmaking and the three-dimensional reconstruction of garments.
