Draping is an awesome way to be creative and get amazing new innovative ideas while doing it. Even though you will learn the basics of draping, experimenting with fabric (or muslin) can and will inspire you to come up with new and very original designs.

Tools needed for draping
You will learn how to use the Dress Form, learn the terminology of the different parts of the Dress Form. Learning the different "words" associated with it, like: Princess Seam, Side Seam, Center Front, Waistline, Apex, etc...
The draping process is a very creative technique which inspires and empowers you to be more creative, innovative and have fun in the process. Learning how to Drape is an intuitive and spontaneous way to create new designs and come up with new ideas.
You will learn how to drape a Dart. What is a Dart? How do you take a 2-dimensional thing like fabric and turn it into a 3-dimensional item such as a Top or a Dress. Draping is the ability to "shape" a garment using fabric. Learning some basic techniques will most definitely enhance your creativity, sewing skills, and garment construction.
Learning how to create a 1-dart and a 2-dart bodice is essential in the creative process of fashion design. Learning how to define a dart, in reference to the Apex. What directions do darts go.
Learning How to Drape a Skirt is a "must" for a Fashion Designer. Basic skirts are the essential staples of a wardrobe, so studying the various shape, darts, sea, allowance, etc. is important.
Learning how to be a great Fashion Designer includes the learning of the Draping process and techniques. The use of fabric as a way to "mold" it to a dress form is inspiring and creative when it comes to "inventing" new designs for that famous "Red Carpet Event" known as "The Oscars" -- those designs worn by those Celebrities were once Draped on a Dress Form.
Those beautiful evening gowns seen on the "Red Carpet" most likely were draped first, then through the process of fitting them on the actual body of the person wearing it, refined and perfected to fit correctly.
This Course starts with the basics: draping the basic bodice: One-Dart and Two-Dart Bodice, but then it moves into using more complex techniques such as draping the "Circle Skirt" which requires a little more practice to perfect.
Through Draping a Circle Skirt, you will learn a certain technique that can be applied to other ideas, other designs, or other parts of a design whether be a sleeve or a collar, etc...
This Course aims not only to teach, but also to inspire students to use Draping techniques to be creative, innovative, and become a great Fashion Designer.
I am of the strong belief that draping should be used as a way to create, "invent", new designs, to let the imagination run free and crew new concepts which have never been done before.
I encourage you to watch some of the old videos on how the Master used draping to create new designs (Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, etc.).
