Draping
In this session, we played around draping on the stand. I looked back at the other techniques we did in the past couple of weeks and to try to incorporate it in this workshop.
Firstly, I was inspired by Alexadre McQueen's Royal Collection, It looks very minimal and interesting. The curve in this designs are very collective.
This image below is Givenchy Couture, This collection is very elegant and simple yet it is very appealing and has a lot of charisma.
And this collection from Lanvin states a strong and fierce woman. The drapes are bold and has has an interesting silhouette.
I started this draping workshop by making the base block pattern. To do this I needed to 40cm by 60cm into a calico fabric and draw a line in between which is 30cm.
Then I cut out the pattern and place it on the stand, This workshop is a quick basic top bodice without using any block, From here the line in the middle of pattern is the bust, From the neck I pinned it along side of the stand and made sure it fits perfectly to make the darts from top to bottom.
Then we made an impression from the neck area and snip the edge to free it from movement. We then pinned the darts and made marks so we can then turn it over and do it at the back of the fabric. Then we cut the excess off from the bottom and the sides.
I then did the same process at the back. This workshop is very quick and simple, It is easy to play around with different patterns.
I then places a string in the waist and tight it to draw the line for the waist, this line will make this line relatively straight.
With this, I can now start draping into the base. This will then become the support for the draping into the stand.
This two images from the top are my first drapings on the stand. This drapes looked interesting with the pleating and twist however this drapes looked very messy and it doesnt look very controlled.
These drapes are more controlled with a mixture of pleating and draping.
