The flat sketch is a precise technical representation of a garment. Freehand flats are also known in the industry as “floats” and can be illustrated with more movement and dimension. Extremely detailed and accurate flats are used in all sectors of the fashion industry for design, presentation, production, and marketing.
Nothing can explain the classic fit and construction of a tailored garment as accurately as a flat sketch. Knitwear stitches and textures are best illustrated in flat sketch form as well.
Illustrating soft and drapey garments as flats can be the most challenging. It is important to execute fluid and draped garment details with the technical precision of a flat sketch.
