Draping (Beginner Level) - Face to Face
DRAPAGE;
It is the process of shaping fabric on a live person or inanimate mannequin . The pattern of clothing models can be obtained by draping with paper and/or fabric on a live or inanimate mannequin.
The process performed with this technique is called draping technique.
Situations That Require Draping Work
Model feature: Some models (draped, asymmetrical, etc.) are difficult or quite challenging to create with the cutting method. Creating the patterns of such models with the draping method makes the job easier.
Seeing the entire model: The draping technique is used to see how a desired model will look on a mannequin.
Disproportionate bodies: It is quite difficult to apply pattern and cut to some bodies. For example; body height, hip drop are not proportionate to the body, it is too fat or too thin or there are differences between the right and left sides of the body. In such cases, it is more advantageous to use the draping technique.
To practice rehearsal and control: Draping is also practiced to practice rehearsal and control.
