Lesson 4 : Garment Designing: Techniques

Advantage of draping

• Draping is advantageous because without cutting the fabric one can know the entire effect of a garment rather than just minute details.
• It is a three dimensional method, the design can be visualized while draping and any necessary changes can also be made.
• Dress form can be of particular size or of standard measurements.
• This helps the designer to achieve the difficult designs by draping different fabrics. For designs such as cowls this method alone can offer good results.
• In draping we can see the features of garment, and characteristics postures in relation to fabric and time into which we are going drape it, and immediately we can sense the harmony between draped fabric and wearer.
