Clare Annetts, Joint 16th The process of draping also gives you a chance to see the effect that gravity will have on the fabric, and to see how the fabric will shape and mould when the grain of the fabric is placed in different directions. This is an advantage of using draping over flat pattern making techniques where it can be harder to picture how a fabric will fall or hang on a section of the garment. However, the art of draping isn’t completely lost; in high fashion, couture fashion houses, evening, and lingerie companies most garments are created through draping. When draping a garment, the designer can immediately see what her apparel design will look like on the body, and immediately correct any fit or design problems before putting anything down on paper. In addition, some apparel designs are just impossible to make via flat patternmaking and need to be draped first. And some fabrics need to be experimented with on a dress form to see how they behave.
