Atacac sharewear no.7

We believe in open source fashion

As a part of our belief in transparency Atacac would like to share the pattern and 3D-model for this garment. As per our philosophy, this garment is free to download. However, we appreciate your support of our development by donating 10€ or 30€. 

Description

A rectangular piece of fabric with a T-shaped cut for the head hangs from the shoulders. Apart from the T-shaped opening, the only cuts are two straight, horizontal cuts directed towards the fundamental green armpit points. The garment is two- dimensional in that it is completely at with no shaping or depth in the construction. This experiment visualises and connects kinetic garment constructions to ancient rectangular garment construction, showing how gravity a ects the fabric and how balance is achieved in the garment when the fabric at the front of the body is conected to the fabric at the back.

Print the pattern out on a large scale plotter or use the tile function if printing on a normal printer and print it in small pieces and then tape the pattern together.

When downloading you will get 4 different files. A png illustrating the garment, a pdf ready for print, a dfx that can be imported into any CAD/CAM software and a ZPrj with the pattern assembled in 3D. The ZPrj file can be viewed and  altered in CLO.
