In this session, I demonstrated how to tape the dress form with paper graphic tapes to create reference lines for draping. This step ensures that the draping process stays true to the intended design lines and makes the job easier, faster, and more accurate.

Lesson Steps:

• Draw reference lines on the dress form using paper graphic tapes
• Mark the neckline, such as the dip V for this halter top design
• Outline the desired open back area
• Indicate the bodice reference lines for accurate draping
