INTRODUCTION
Fashion is one of the essential needs for humans after food.This is because clothing symbolizes a person's personality (Hasan et al., 2011).With fashion, a person's confidence can increase.The need to use clothing is to protect the body, as self-identity, profession, traditional symbols, status, and fashion.The use of clothing is adjusted to the occasion of use, for example, recreational clothing, school clothing, work wear, party clothing, casual clothing, and sports clothing.Party fashion is clothing that has a luxurious and unique look from everyday fashion.
The development of fashion trends in Indonesia is strongly influenced by European and Asian cultures, both in materials and design.The selection of regional clothing, such as kebaya for party events, is mainly done by adult women, while younger women usually choose clothes with Western style.Even Korean trends continue to be the fashion style of teenagers today.Often, similar forms of clothing on a party occasion make fashion wearers less comfortable Wulandari & Sugiyem, 2023).This is a challenge for designers to create unique and attractive clothing.
An idea is a thought, concept, or mental picture, which is sometimes imaginary without having anything to do with reality (Weiner, 1996).The design process begins with the birth of an idea first (Wijaya, 1999).According to Wisri, everything that can generate someone's idea to create a new idea design is called an idea source (Mamdy, 1978).Meanwhile, according to Widjiningsih (1982), the source of ideas is everything that stimulates the birth of something new.Based on the opinions of the experts above, the source of ideas is everything that is used as inspiration to create a new design.
To foster originality, sources of inspiration play a decisive role during the creative stage of the design process (Nafila, 2014).To create a new design, a designer can look at and pick up various objects to serve as a source of ideas.These objects can be in the form of clothing, objects found in the surrounding environment, and various important events that occur at the national and international levels.
Indonesia has many heritage buildings that can be a source of inspiration in creating party fashion.Inspiration that can be taken from heritage buildings includes architectural motifs, colors, shapes, textures, and eras.Architectural motifs such as wood carvings, reliefs, and ceiling or wall decorations can be adapted through applications, embroidery, or borders on party clothing.The color of the building can be a color choice for classic and elegant party clothes.The shape of details in heritage buildings can be detailed on clothing such as arms, neckline, or waist.Textures in heritage buildings such as natural stone, wood, and ceramics can be adapted into fashion designs by using fabrics that have the same texture or adding accessories such as fur or knitting to clothing.The era of heritage collateral can inspire fashion by adopting styles and characteristics from that era into fashion design.Some examples of heritage buildings in Indonesia and elements that can be used as inspiration in fashion design are Borobudur temple, Prambanan temple, Joglo house, and King Palace.
Istana Siak is one of the heritage buildings that can be a source of inspiration in fashion creation.Siak Palace is a palace located in the city of Siak Sri Indrapura, Riau, Indonesia.This palace was built in the 18th century and became the center of power of the Siak Sri Indrapura Sultanate (Rijal, 2018).Siak Palace has breathtaking artistic architectural beauty and decorations and high historical value.By combining elements from Siak Palace with modern fashion designs, it can produce unique and stunning party clothes.However, it is also essential to pay attention to cultural and ethical aspects in using inspiration from Siak Palace and ensure no misappropriation or violation in its use.

METHOD
The method used is the Project Based Learning (PBL) method, where students learn in practical situations, encourage the creation of finished products based on student experience, and motivate the cultivation of student abilities in all aspects of the process (Liu et al., 2019).Project-based teaching refers to a learning method in which students complete a specific project according to certain requirements and standards within a certain period under the guidance and assistance of the teacher (Liu & Zhong, 2002).Party dressmaking begins with creating designs by reviewing the source of ideas, making mood boards, and presenting images.The next step is drawing to finish the dressmaking.At the same time, the evaluation is carried out to assess the results of clothing based on suitability with the source of ideas and total fashion look.
