French curve and hip curve set aluminum and non rusty curve ruler

1. French Curve: • A French curve is a flexible drafting tool with a variety of curved edges of different shapes and sizes. • Fashion designers and patternmakers use French curves to create smooth, curved lines for garments, such as armholes, necklines, and sleeve caps. • Architects and engineers use French curves to draw smooth, flowing curves in architectural designs, such as arches or rounded corners. 2. Hip Curve: • A hip curve, also known as a tailor’s curve or dressmaker’s curve, is a rigid drafting tool with a curved edge that resembles the shape of the hip. • It’s primarily used in fashion design and patternmaking to create and adjust the curves of garments, particularly around the waist, hip, and hemline areas. • Tailors and dressmakers use hip curves to modify and refine patterns for skirts, trousers, dresses, and other garments to ensure proper fit and drape around the body’s curves. Both French curves and hip curves are essential tools for creating precise and professional-looking designs and patterns, allowing designers and drafters to achieve smooth, accurate curves in their work.
