Elegant Jacket with Built-in Corset
Jacket Construction: Professional Tailoring from Inside Out
This course is dedicated to true jacket construction — the kind used in couture and high-level atelier work, where structure, balance, and internal architecture matter just as much as the outer design.
A jacket is not simply a garment.
It is a complex engineered form that must support the body, hold its shape, and remain comfortable in motion. In this course, you will learn how to build a jacket correctly — from the inside, using professional tailoring logic rather than simplified sewing shortcuts.
You will work with layered internal structures, understand how each element affects fit and silhouette, and learn how to control the garment’s behavior on the body.
