In this session, I demonstrated how to drape a close-fitted full torso sloper on a dress form with a larger size.

I taped the dress form, cut muslin pieces, and draped the fabric tightly around the form, pinning and adjusting to achieve a snug fit. I emphasized the importance of maintaining the straight grain and following the body’s curves.

Lesson Steps:

• Taped the dress form, separating one side for draping
• Cut muslin pieces based on measurements and added ease
• Draped the center front piece, pinning and stretching for a super tight fit
• Marked neckline, bust line, apex, waistline, and hip line
• Draped the side pieces, aligning the straight grain and pinning tightly
• Adjusted and re-pinned areas as needed for a smooth, curve-hugging fit
• Drew pattern lines on the pinned fabric
• Removed pieces without folding, ready to transfer to linen and sew
