Creative draping on the stand...!x
For this lesson we had to demonstrate how creative we could get on the stand with draping.
step one.. press the calico
step two...cut out calico square 60x40cm
step three.. From top to bottom i folded 2.5cm in to have a straight finish and pressed it flat and marked the bust line from top 20cm and measured downwards, marked with a pencil. Pin down in the middle and the side seam.
step four... Leave 1cm gap for the neck lines and draw a line with a pencil and cut off the excess fabric.
step five...Snip the bottom of the bodice to fit the mannequin better.
Step 6...After doing the front panel i followed the same process for the back panel.





After pining the fabric to make the basic bodice shape, i started adding other pieces of calico and used different techniques like draping and pleating using an iron.





I over laped some of the fabric to created different shapes.

I was very pleased with my final pieces...as the lesson progressed i got in the creative mode. I like how i structured the draping to a unique shape.


Asian attire use draping over laying specially on sarees.
