general

definition of confection

The more general and extensive use of this concept allows to account for the realization and elaboration of things, activities, tasks, among other alternatives, which, for the most part, will be assembled and made by joining different parts.

Process that involves developing things and activities

Also, the word is used to designate the result of that preparation, that is to say that thing that has been finally made.

Manufacture of clothing, either in series or by hand

Another highly recurrent use of the word is given at the request of the textile field, in which it is used to express two questions that have to do with the clothing manufacturing, because on the one hand it refers to hand-making of any garment, a suit, a skirt, a jacket, a shirt, among others.

And on the other hand it allows to express the mass production of garments from machines specially designed for this purpose.

Of course, the final product of both fabrications will certainly differ, since the handmade, artisanal production, as it is also called, tends to give the garment a very special and unique touch, something that does not happen many times with production. serially.

It should be noted that the task of clothing demands a special knowledge of techniques and fabrics, while such knowledge can be acquired through experience or by attending an academy or institution that teaches such issues.

Individuals who are professionally engaged in this task are popularly known as dressmakers, seamstresses, and tailors.

Meanwhile, when someone wants or needs to make a custom-made suit, dress, blouse, skirt, among others, and with the fabric they have chosen, they must resort to the tailor, dressmaker, or seamstress, to make it according to their needs. size and particular requirements.

For its part, tailoring is the concept linked to the textile industry that designates both the activities carried out by the aforementioned professionals, tailor, dressmaker and seamstress , as with the course, study per se, in which you can learn these traditional trades.

Haute Couture and Ready-to-Wear

At the request of making garments we must distinguish two very popular branches that involve very different concretion processes, on the one hand Haute Couture, which creates garments mostly manually and with very exclusive designs and materials, and on the other hand Prêt-à-porter, which encompasses those garments produced in series.

Haute Couture makes garments tailored to its client, in an absolutely handmade way, manually, and with very little participation of the sewing machine, for example, these are high quality garments, which have the participation of excellent materials, original, and have a high monetary value.

Each part of the garment is sewn in detail and with precision, and thus the tailoring tends to take a long time, that is, the makers usually dedicate a very long time to each haute couture garment, because the detail is the secret of success. .

Each haute couture garment is designed for a client, it is made according to their measurements and their profile.

We must emphasize that many designers tend to present many haute couture garments in their shows for the purpose of artistic expression and not so much commercial.

And for its part, Prêt-à-porter, whose literal translation into Spanish would be “ready to wear”, produces garments that are manufactured from the serial procedure and that the patterns are repeated in relation to the demand that exists.

It is basically urban fashion, which we use every day in our daily lives.

We must say that the commercial demands and the exclusive commercialization that Haute Couture supposes, generated that the designers and the houses that were born to make Haute Couture, over time, launched their own ready-to-wear line.

In the middle of the last century, Prêt-à-porter prevailed over Haute Couture, which never disappeared, but which spread from the scene as a result of the high costs it entails.

The need to keep its stores open was the reason for this decision.

French designer Yves Saint Laurent was one of the first to make the first leap from Haute Couture to ready-to-wear.
