Fashion Flats - designing dresses using illustrator

I created these dress designs using illustrator, by adding my rulers to be able to get an idea of the measurements of the page and my design. I then moved my guide directly into the middle of the page, and locked this guide to avoid moving it whilst selecting other things. Using the pen tool I made my points and created curves to look like one half of a dress. I then used the reflect tool to create a mirror image of my garment and then joined the points on the neckline and hem of the dress to create a whole garment which looks like the ones I created below.
