Get Confident in High-End Garment Construction Using DRAPING, DRAFTING, and HYBRID SHORTCUTS Without Going to 4-Years of Fashion School or Working at a Couture Atelier
Draping Society is a membership where you'll be creating well-fitted patterns & turning them into garments from scratch. You’ll create your bespoke tailored wardrobe, that is uniquely you.
You'll unlock your creativity by using your custom-fit blocks & finished patterns to create many more design options, how to choose the right fabrics for your project, and high-end finishing methods to upgrade each garment.
Each design project comes with extended detailed videos on every single step from choosing a design & modifying for your shape, creating the pattern, fitting, choosing fabrics, cutting, sewing & high-end finishing.
You’ll get personal attention & feedback on your projects during our weekly Live Sessions, where all member questions get answered, and new design demonstrations are shared.
You'll join our Private Facebook Community that's going to connect you with 200+ other dressmakers just like you.
