Fashion Draping on the Stand Intensive Summer Course

Language of instruction: English

Fashion draping is an important part of fashion design. In high fashion, couture fashion houses, evening, and lingerie companies most garments are created through draping. It is a key skill which allows apparel designers to understand what creates a great fit and how to achieve it. Draping for fashion design is the process of positioning and pinning fabric on a dress form to develop the structure of a garment design.
