Description
Draping
With draping or ‘moulage’, a pattern is developed in three-dimensional and intuitive ways. To make a design, fabric is draped around a body or mannequin. You can then translate the result with fabric into a paper pattern. This method is frequently used in haute couture, and by fashion designers in general.
The drape of the fabric around the human body creates spontaneous designs that you could not have imagined beforehand. This surprise makes designing super fun.
The following components are covered in the Moulage Course:
- basic skills moulage
- working on mannequin and on person
- working out the design to a paper pattern
- make a ‘moulage’ arm
- bodice, skirt, sleeve, collars.
