Draping in Miniature

Year: 2010
Month: May
Class Time: 10:00am - 4:00pm
Tuition: $100.00
Kit Fee: N/A

Many European fashion schools use draping in miniature as a way of testing out new ideas and envisioning a garment concept more quickly. The scaled down half-sized muslins serve as a “brainstorming” format for advanced theories. Working on the true half-size dressform with muslin, students will experience draping in half-size and discover the unique applications this provides. As students work out theories in miniature, they can translate them to full size on full sized dress forms in the classroom. Bring to class 5-10 yds of muslin, notebook, style tape for designing, pencils for marking & drafting tools for trueing in patterns.
