Draping (Beginner Level) - Face to Face
DRAPING;
The process of shaping fabric onto a live person or a mannequin is known as draping. Draping can be used to create patterns for garments using 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
Pattern specificity: Some patterns (draped, asymmetrical, etc.) are difficult or quite challenging to create using the cutting method. Creating the patterns for these types of patterns using the draping method makes the process easier.
Seeing the entire model: The draping technique is used to see how a desired model will look on a mannequin.
Disproportionate bodies: Some bodies are quite difficult to apply pattern and cut to. For example, if the height or hips are out of proportion, the figure is too fat or too thin, or there are differences between the right and left sides of the body, using a draping technique is more advantageous in such cases.
To practice rehearsal and control: Draping is also practiced to practice rehearsal and control.
