Course Title: APPAREL DESIGN DRAPING
Apparel Design Draping (theoretical and practical training)
Draping refers to the process of using lengths of fabric to drape around a dress-maker’s form. This method will give you an idea of how the fabric will “fall” from the body.
The dress-maker’s form will be draped with similar but cheaper fabric until you have a pattern made and tested. Only then will the “real” fabric be used to finish the garment.
A wide verity of styles are covered in this course.
