Prior to starting my BA Hons degree in costume i had never attempted to create garments and patterns by means of draping on the stand below are three images showing my first attempt at draping a basic bodice.
I found there to be both good and bad points to draping, one of the good points was that it gives you more creative freedom to create your own shapes and style.
The down side to this i found was you can only drape to the size of you tailors bust which would need to be sized up or down depending on the size you wanted to achieve.
All in all it is a technique i would like you work more with and i expect i will throughout my degree and beyond.
