Our Deal: Graduates Ready to Stimulate

Tessa Druely

Maple Grove, MN; BS Clothing Design

Regal Pleats

I enjoy challenging my design abilities and pushing the elements when draping pieces on a mannequin. I believe that this kind of development creates the best-fitting results. This design depends heavily on the fabric’s ability to lie correctly and look smooth through the shoulder pleats and into the narrowed hem.  As the last addition to my senior line, I chose to add an elegant design to complete my vision. I feel that the sleek shape and complexity in this garment speaks to me as a designer.
