The Draping Drama

All my students have got into the argument of Pattern Making vs Draping. Such discussions always put me in a position where I am forced to take a side. Since I have been teaching Draping since a very long long time it is always expected of me to defend Draping against Pattern making. Though its a different matter altogether that the first ever class that i took at NIFT was Pattern Making. However, coming back to the point of pattern making and Draping.... I am on the side of the good fitting clothes. It doesn't matter in the end if it was pattern made or draped. it is the end product that should make the designers decide which tool they would like to use for the design conceived. 

The art of Draping is fluid and give more freedom to the 'art that design is'. on the other hand the technique of pattern making is technical and engineered. 

Here, i am posting a video, which shows the fluidity of the art of draping..

Enjoy!!
