FLUTING
Fluting was done by cutting bias strips of fabric and putting them on the dress form. The art of fluting is seen a lot of times in haute couture garments and it is a much favored technique among designers. The strips are placed on equal distances which create this kind of effect.

RUCHING
Ruching is a gathered overlay of fabric strips that are pleated, fluted, or gathered together to create a ripplelike effect. The frill or pleat of the fabric, often lace, chiffon or muslin, has evolved from the 16th century ruff.

SUBSTRACTION
“Subtraction cutting is DESIGNING WITH PATTERNS, rather than creating patterns with designs”This is a subtraction method of cutting, because the resulting shape is created by the removal of fabric, not the addition of fabric. This removal creates space for the body, but also controls how the fabric falls around the body.
