In this lesson, I taught how to drape a princess line skirt foundation-sloper. I demonstrated the process of draping the front and back pieces, focusing on achieving the correct fit and shape. The lesson covered creating a natural fit, marking important lines, and assembling the pieces to check the overall silhouette.
Lesson Steps:
- Start with the center front piece, aligning it with the fold and straight grain
- Drape the side front piece, securing it to the dress form
- Mark waistline, hip line, and princess seam on both front pieces
- Attach front pieces together to check fit and make adjustments
- Move to the back, starting with the center back piece
- Drape the side back piece, focusing on creating the desired curve
- Mark important lines on back pieces and attach them together
- Connect side seams and check overall fit of the skirt
- Make final adjustments and mark final lines
- Remove the draped pieces from the dress form
- Transfer the draped pieces to create the pattern
