Summary

Advanced Creative Draping teaches designers and students how to drape fashion-forward, conceptual designs that use elements of couture construction to elevate the work to the highest level of fashion.

Five methods of draping are explored as well as draping using embellishments or particular surface designs. The final chapter demonstrates how to create a high-quality heirloom garment.

Featuring specially commissioned step-by-step photography, the book includes tips from designers working with draping methods today. Essentially an advanced textbook for the serious fashion student, it also serves as a workroom reference book for professional fashion and costume designers.
