Draping method Draping is a technique that involves working directly with fabric on a dress form to assess volume in real time, allowing for precise seam placement and adjustment of the garment’s fall. If you’re drawn to asymmetry, knots, bias cuts, or bold and unconventional shapes, draping lets you break free from the constraints of flat patternmaking and fully unleash your creativity.  Heritage and legacy On the occasion of ESMOD's 180th anniversary, this book traces the history of the six successive directions that have made the school famous.
