The steps for the preparation of a dress form are given below. Draping is a most ancient and popular form of clothing. It is found that many visual arts of the Romans and Indian sculptures, terracottas, cave paintings, and wood carvings, presenting men and women wore the same (unstitched) clothes with the help various wrapping and draping styles. Uttariya, and Antariya are few prominent clothing items of draped garments from the Vedic period. Kasaya, another rectangular piece of the Buddhist robe, is a real example of the draped garment from ancient period. Further evolved forms of draped garments are Sari, Odhni, etc. Draping offers an alternative method of creating a pattern by working directly on the stand with fabric. It offers immediate results but requires a level of dexterity and manipulative skills, which can be taught and developed with practice. For some designers this is a more intuitive process; one that can help to confirm the visualization process needed to realize a three-dimensional form. Most fabrics will require a foundation piece of some sort to support the weight of the fabric. You can skip this step if you’re working with very sturdy fabric. If your main fabric is sheer, be sure to choose a fabric that’s close to your skin tone or one that matches the main fabric if you don’t want to see the foundation fabric when the garment is worn.

Basic sloper patterns ( master patterns) are also used to create draped and stylized garments. Even sleeves are constructed with the help of the sloper. Estimate the size of muslin needed, allowing a reasonable amount of extra fabric for ease, seam allowance, and styling.
