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.
Alot of designers use alot of draping for their collections.here i have uploaded some examples.
In the asian culture draping has been a massive tradition.
They use the technique for alot of things, like weddings, parties, furniture and clothing.
Asian attire use draping over laying specially on sarees.
