In this session, I taught how to create unique and interesting tops and dresses using unconventional draping techniques. I demonstrated how to transform basic t-shirt shapes into high-end designer-looking pieces by manipulating necklines, armholes, and fabric placement. We explored various ways to add interesting elements and create effortless, chic looks.
