Advanced Draping- Fashion School with Nick Verreos 

Plzzz do stitching

Awwww! Thank you XO

Thank you!--Nick

Hi Gabhari! It isn't so necessary to mark that "bias square" but it does help when trying to find the proper bias. When cutting on the bias, I try to "eye" the grain on the fabric when eye'ing my pattern on it. Usually, on most fabrics, you can kind of see the grains so I sort of just use my eye and fabric to place the pattern on the bias. But for novices, drawing that "bias square" might be helpful in the beginning. Hope this helps!--Nick

draping a couture wrap dress

Hi darling! Good question! The reason I used the selvage for the drape of the yellow fabric is because this was a stretch knit jersey drape. And the draping lesson in which started with the bias was NOT--it was woven. When draping a garment using a jersey knit (stretchy) fabric it is pretty useless to use the bias (it stretches ALREADY!) unless of course, the knit is striped and you want to somehow utilize the stripes, etc. But when a drape is in a woven fabrication (the first "Advanced Drape" video), then it is much better to use the bias. The bias of a woven fabric stretches and almost acts as if it was knit (well, semi-knit). Anyhow, hope this helps and makes sense. To recap: When draping a dress/gown that is in jersey, never mind the bias. When doing a "draped gown" in a woevn fabric (silk, silk crepe, etc.), begin your drape using the bias. It will drape better and more beautifully. XO, Nick

Hello Hashitha! No, I do not have online draping class...yet! But there has been so many people asking about that that I might start one--as a subscriber service--in the future! Stay tuned! XO, Nick
