Draping (often called modelling) is the pattern cutting method used by many designers, particularly for couture designs, which enables patterns to be created using a 3D approach of draping fabric onto a body form or workroom stand to interpret ideas. The shape is then transferred onto paper to obtain a pattern.  

The course will include:

• The differences between the stand size, actual body measurements and size charts
• Fabric characteristics 
• Bodice & skirts
• Sleeves
• Styling with dart manipulation
• Skirts: A-line, circular, gathers & pleats
• Collars
