Having just one perfectly calibrated basic design of a dress with an adjacent silhouette, a fashion designer can create an endless number of designer models. The technique of parallel and conical extension, transferring the chest dart into the side seam, waist or neckline allows you to create couture draperies and trendy asymmetry. In this video tutorial we model 3 completely different dresses from one pattern.

- Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
1. Transferring the dart into drapery
The bust and waist darts are closed and the solution is carried into the fan radial slits, creating a waterfall of soft folds.
2. Control of the pairing of slices
After spreading the pattern, be sure to check the alignment of the side and shoulder sections with the back pattern.
3. Choosing fabric for drapery
For such styles, plastic fabrics are best suited: silk crepe de Chine, micromodal viscose jersey or flowing cupro.
Advice for the designer
Before cutting silk, test the drape on a mock-up fabric of similar weight and drape. And the basic basis of the dress for modeling can be downloaded from the catalog ready-made patterns.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is it necessary to duplicate the neckline with drapery?
