- Feb 24, 2014 - Love this: Real Body Croquis. Fashion designers and illustrators often use ‘croquis‘ – outline sketches of models – as the basis of their sketches and drawings, and in the design process. The industry-standard croquis templates have a very “Barbie-doll” like form – tall, skinny and almost entirely unlike real people.
- Test fabrics with the croquis. My body is asymmetrical due to scoliosis, and photos help me understand fit. I took photos in close-fitting clothes and printed them. I then made a personal croquis by cutting out my body outline, leaving a me-shaped opening in the paper. You can place the croquis in a clear page protector if desired.
Ideations are quick concept sketches used in the entertainment business. In the fashion business they are called Croquis, or quick sketch in French.

Ideations and croquis are created either manually or digitally. They are usually created over a body template. It is much better to use the same pose or a straight front view pose for all the drawings. This way you are only looking at the garment designs and are not distracted by different poses and body types.
These ideations/croquis shown are both done using one template.
Below are two templates that you can download to make your own ideations/croquis templates. Note that seamlines are drawn on both templates to help with seam placement. These body templates are only slightly elongated to make them more suitable for a patternmaker to use.
