Draping or Moulage is the process of manipulating a flat piece of fabric directly on a three dimensional dress form. The starting point for the developing garment design through draping can be a designer sketch or the process of draping itself. Once the draping is done the fabric is removed from dress form in order to transfer the results of draping onto paper for creating sewing patterns
The Couture Draping consists of 3 parts - Basics, Intermediate, and Advanced.
The course video-lessons orderly guide you through the all steps of draping practice from the beginner to advanced level. The unique structure of the learning is built upon step-by-step acquisition of draping skills gradually nurturing your progress. Each part of the course is designed to reveal the key principles and techniques specific to the particular learning stage.Therefore you will be equipped with optimal selection of tools that provide the solid foundation for further creative development of your own design
