Tip 6: Also, when analyzing the drape remember in removing the pins from the form that you should also pin all of the draped seams together to get an accurate picture of what the final garment will look like when sewn. At this point, side-seams and princess seams can be pinned together from a 360-degree vantage point on the form to demonstrate how the newly constructed garment will hang. This is one of the main advantages of draping as a method of garment construction and provides lots of visual stimulation to the creative designer. The earliest evidence of draped clothing dates to 3500 BCE (before the Common Era). The evidence is visible in the sculptures and paintings from the Roman, Greek, and Egyptian eras. However, the word draping came into being only in the 1930s. The next step is truing – the process of taking the muslin off of the dress form, laying it out flat on a table, and using rulers and design curves to connect and finalize the markings you made in the previous step.

If your pins were to come out, then all of your draping work would be for naught because the garment would be off-balance from the beginning. A designer can play with many designs and create new designs with the fabric falls to start an apparel manufacturing process.

With the process of draping, fashion designers can get a proper idea and visualize that how a dress is going to look at the end, even before starting to cut, stitch and design the costume. Draping is a technique primarily used when creating couture and high-end pieces because it allows for the opportunity to sculpt and create one-of-a-kind designs by directly manipulating the fabric to achieve the desired pattern.
