This course introduces learners to the design and construction of contemporary fashion garments through the development of an asymmetrical boat neck top with a one-sided draped shoulder detail and a coordinating asymmetrical skirt featuring a gathered flounce hem. Participants will explore how to transform basic bodice and skirt blocks into modern silhouettes using pattern manipulation and slash-and-spread techniques to create controlled volume, soft draping, and fluid movement.
Through guided, hands-on practice, learners will gain essential skills in pattern adaptation, fabric manipulation, accurate measurements, and garment construction techniques while achieving clean, professional finishes. Emphasis is placed on both technical precision and creative interpretation, enabling participants to confidently translate design concepts into well-constructed garments suitable for retail or bespoke applications.

Tembusu Institute schedules classes on selected public holidays to cater to adult learners. Public holiday classes provide greater flexibility and accessibility for learners who may not be able to attend weekday or regular working-hour classes due to work, family or caregiving commitments. All schedules are planned and communicated clearly to students prior to course commencement.
We do not offer any make-up or replacement classes.
Class schedules, including lessons conducted on public holidays, are communicated to students prior to course commencement. Students are given the option to select an alternative schedule where classes do not coincide with public holidays at the point of enrolment, subject to availability. If a student chooses to proceed with a schedule that includes public holiday classes and subsequently requests to miss or defer a lesson for personal or religious reasons, standard deferment policies apply. This may include applicable deferment or administrative fees, in accordance with Tembusu Institute's published course terms and conditions. No additional penalties are imposed beyond these stated policies, and the same approach is applied consistently to all students.
We highly discourage you from missing any classes since the entire program is designed to be hands-on intensive. There is also a minimum attendance requirement of 75% of training hours for Singaporean and PRs, and 90% of training hours for international students. If you do not meet the 75% attendance requirement, you will not be eligible to enjoy subsidies nor to sit for the assessment. Make sure you block off your time during your training with us or find an intake option that will ensure you do not miss any classes. You will only wish that you had more time in the class!
