Fashion Design for Bishop Flounce Cuffs

Video Transcript

"My next cuff style to show you is called a Bishop Flounce cuff, that's its technical definition. It is a cuff that, obviously, flounce, we all know what that means. It's going to be larger and then go smaller for the flounce and flounce out is flared. Flounce is just a fancy word for flare, basically. I have, right here, my dash line, signifying that that's the seam, this is my seam line. Dash lines in your drawings, always signify seam lines. The fact that makes it the Bishop Flounce cuff, is the bottom part, the flounce on the bottom part, the ruffle, the flare. If you took this and stretched it all out and showed each one of these folds in the fabric and measured it, it would be a lot longer but you don't draw it like that, you just measure like that. We have to create a definition for our flounce and then for our fabric, showing that the Bishop cuff is a little bit puffier. You do the same thing up top, in reverse."
