In this session, I taught how to drape the bias-cut Vionnet dress torso on the dress form.
I prepared the muslin pieces with bias lines marked, then started draping the center front section on the bias grain.
Lesson Steps:
- Aligned the center front muslin piece on the bias, pinning it close to the body
- Made slashes and adjustments around the bust area for a smooth fit
- Marked seamlines, grainlines, and notches with a pencil
- Draped the side front panel on the bias next, pinning and marking it
- Continued draping the front skirt section, side back, and back pieces on the bias
- Marked all seamlines, grainlines, notches, and labeled each piece
- Will machine baste the draped pieces together to check the overall fit
