Draping

About

Draping for fashion design is the process of positioning and pinning fabric on a dress form to develop the structure of a garment design. A garment can be draped using a design sketch as a basis, or a fashion designer can play with the way fabric falls to create new designs at the start of the apparel design process. After draping, the fabric is removed from the dress form and used to create the sewing pattern for the garment.

Draping and fitting are usually done with the mannequin to resolve any design and fitting issues of a garment before cutting the pattern in real fabric.
