Draping: The Complete Course: Second Edition

Wonderful book. Clear, concise, useful reference to existing designs, yet establishing the broader fundamentals.

I have spent a few years learning about fashion design, draping and drafting. I have the books that are supposedly used in fashion design schools, but this one is the best. This book has specific projects that build on themselves, as you become more proficient with the methods and techniques. The author is also a draping teacher. I am 100% self taught and I'm an intuitive visual learner. This book comes with loads of helpful videos to show you the methods and concepts of draping. I have the first edition hard copy, and the updated version digital version. The digital version has links to videos that are very helpful. I plan to get the second book in hard copy (for my sewing studio as a reference) and also the digital version as well.

Wonderful resource to learn how to drape. I am SO HAPPY I bought this book. It's kind of pricey but it's a full on course book with QR codes that take you to videos that demonstrate a lot on the concepts. It's well written, easy to understand and full of pictures, too. I think it's worth every penny and I'm super happy I came across this awesome book.

One of the reasons I sew is to make clothing that actually fits. I have a G-size chest, a shorter than average torso, long arms, and a flat butt. This book explains how to fit my body using all the different style lines using clear language and step-by-step photographs.

I have read a lot of fitting and drafting pattern books and this one is one of the best ones I have seen. It cost more than a lot of the books, but it’s one that I will pull back off of my shelf again and again.

This book was a good investment to have in my collection of sewing books and very helpful and easy to follow instructions

Bought a new one, and it arrived with a large chunk of the bottom corner of the front page bent over. Not too much of a problem, and it doesn't mean I can't read it, but definitely not the status of a "new" item.

I love that there are pictures for everything and some videos as well. This is super helpful for someone who is a beginner and may not understand all terminology. This will definitely be a useful resource to have.

am a practising fashion designer ,and this book has helped me immensly in some complex drapes,especially with rendered fabrics,love this series of books !

As imagens estão com uma ótima resolução, os detalhes estão fáceis de ver e entender e os vídeos são excelentes.

Excellent for serious sewing practice.

This book is full of wonderful knowledge and advice. Whether you’re a beginner or advance this book is great because it covers all the fundamental basics in an easy step by step process. It shows images of the fabric draped on the mannequin, along with flat patterns, instructions and tips and tricks. For the price-tag that it is, it’s fantastic.

It's another step in my sewing journey to learn about draping fabric.
