In this lesson, I demonstrated how to drape a twist dress, which falls under creative draping.

I showed how to drape a twist dress by first preparing the muslin, gathering it at the waistline, and then draping it on the dress form. The twist is created by bringing the gathered waistline up and twisting it to create an interesting design detail.

Lesson Steps:

• Prepare muslin by gathering and knotting at the waistline
• Pin muslin to the dress form at center front and waistline
• Shape the bodice by pinning at shoulders, neckline, and armholes
• Decide on skirt silhouette – straight, pegged, or added volume
• Drape back piece and add ease as needed
• Twist the gathered waistline up to the shoulder
• Finalize shaping and finish details like zipper, facings etc.
