Stage 2: Substitution of dress fabrics – Modelling the whole garment using actual fabric is ideal but it makes experimentation more costly. Hence, it is advisable to utilize a fabric having similar properties as that of the actual fabric which has been left over from a previous collection. You could also use itfor other projects that require a lot of gathering, such as bed or crib skirts.

Next, take the muslin and cut out the various pieces of your design from it. This includes your sleeves, bust cup, and all other pieces. A designer can play with many designs and create new designs with the fabric falls to start an apparel manufacturing process. Most of the fashion industry, like high fashion, haute couture fashion houses, evening, and lingerie companies most garments are created through draping. When draping a garment, the designer can immediately see what her apparel design will look like on the body, and immediately correct any fit or design problems before putting anything down on paper.

Fashion draping is the manipulation of two-dimensional fabrics on a three-dimensional torso or body form to get a perfect fit. The dress form generally used for draping is a muslin padded dress form, positioned in an adjustable stand that duplicates the human body structure. The dress form should be firm, yet resilient and should not resist pins. A range of dress forms exist in standard sizes for children’s and men’s figures. The steps for the preparation of a dress form are given below. Stage 5: Placing and pinning of material onto the stand – A full toile or torso is normally required; however, one side only is needed to model, except for asymmetric designs. Pining of excess fabric has to be done temporarily to the side of the stand and then the fabric is moulded around the stand as desired, allowing the extra fabric to fall freely into the area where the fullness is desired. The techniques used for controlling the drape are given below. Tailor’s Chalk: A small piece of chalk, approximately 1 ‘/2” square, with two tapered edges. It is used to mark lines temporarily on different points of garment and other alteration points.

In this process initially dresses are draped on dummy with a cheaper quality fabric so sometimes the look of the final garment cannot be assessed correctly by this method.

All curved seams are planned with ½” seam allowances.

Reference your total apex to side seam measurement from step 2 and make a horizontal line to represent your side seam

Before draping, muslin may have to be re-shaped so that yarns of the crosswise and lengthwise grains are at perfect right angels to each other. To re-shaped muslin, pull the edges diagonally until the fabric is squared.Draping is the art of clothing arrangement loosely or casually on or around dress form.
