In this lesson, I taught how to create a creatively draped skirt using a 180-degree fold technique. I demonstrated how to prepare the fabric, place it on the dress form, and manipulate it to achieve the desired silhouette. I also showed how to drape the back piece and create darts for a better fit.
Lesson Steps:
- Prepare fabric according to measurements in the PDF
- Place fabric on dress form, aligning with princess seam
- Pin and adjust fabric to create desired drape and silhouette
- Smooth fabric around the waist and release tension where needed
- Adjust and finalize the front drape
- Mark center front, waistline, and hemline
- Drape the back piece, creating darts for fit
- Add ease to both front and back pieces
- Make final adjustments and markings
- Prepare to turn the draped pieces into a pattern
