Step 2 Bodice Drape

Steps For Draping A Couture Gown

Now that we have the basic bodice as shown in the step 1, I was able to drape and create my own style.

Here I am showing how I draped the left side, holding tight in every angle with pins, then basting the edges to make sure it does not loose the gathers after sewing it with the machine.

Making a couture gown takes time and patience, it is good to walk away few times and come back to the work, so you can see any mistakes or flows and will be able to fix them.

Now this bodice is ready to be sewn by machine and then will be back on the mannequin for further draping.
