The Draping on Mannequin Course is a fundamental course in fashion design, teaching students how to create garments directly in three dimensions by shaping fabric on a dress form.

Draping is a hands-on and intuitive design technique that allows designers to experiment with fabric, form, and fit in real time. Unlike traditional pattern making, draping offers a more organic and creative approach to developing fashion designs.

Throughout this course, students will learn how to:

• Apply draping techniques on a mannequin
• Manipulate fabric to create garment structures
• Develop three-dimensional fashion designs
• Understand fit, balance, and garment construction
• Translate ideas into wearable fashion pieces
• Combine draping with traditional pattern-making methods

This course emphasizes practical learning, enabling students to explore their creativity while developing strong technical skills in garment design.

By the end of the course, students will be able to design and create garments using draping techniques, preparing them for careers in fashion design or building their own fashion brand.
