Draping

German:
Drapieren

Draping means pinning fabric into shape directly on a dress form. The piece taken off the form is then turned into a flat pattern.

In the file

The piece taken off the form can be photographed directly, as long as it lies flat and is cut out. PatternScan Pro does not care whether it is paper or fabric.

Also known as
moulage
