Third Year Fashion Design Students Draping Projects

[TheDancingOnes]

School's out for the semester, and to celebrate, I'd like to share with you my draping classes final designs. We're in our third year at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Vancouver, and started learning how to drape in September. Since then we've definitely come a long way... here are some of our projects:

Stunning. I had no idea there were so many different ways of draping.  You and your classmates are very talented.  I wish you all the best for your future careers which will, I am sure, be awesome.

Oh my friend's sister just started there this fall! Any advice on how to get started on draping? I'm intrigued, but it looks so complicated!

I started draping in high school by visualizing the vague pattern piece before putting it on the pattern piece, and roughly cutting it out, then putting the piece on the mannequin and tailoring it by hand. I think the best way to start is to buy some cheap fabric, and just go for it. Its all about trial and error. There are some good books that can help you out with draping, such as Draping for Fashion Design http://www.amazon.ca/Draping-Fashion-Design-Hilde-Jaffe/dp/0131109375/ref=pd_cp_b_0_img. Thats great that your friend's sister is starting at Kwantlen; she'll love it.

I love them all! I go to the academy of Art for fashion design and can't wait to start draping garments. These look professional and flawless. Great Job!
