4.0 out of 5 stars
good intro to draping,
By
This review is from: The Art of Fashion Draping (Paperback)
Excellent intro for novice sewers as a text, or experienced sewers wanting to learn draping skills. Covers tools/equipment, terms/elements of draping, the basic bodice/skirt/shift/sleeve, princess bodice/dress, skirt variations, pants, sleeve and armhole variations, collars, cowl necks, yoke variations, knits, and a few intermediate fashion features like sculptured pleats, bias, boned bustier, ruffles/flounces/gathering, and peplums. To follow the exercises, you must have a dress form (preferrably professional) to work with. But with numbered steps giving a very simplified process, and the very clear and numerous b/w diagrams, you should be able to teach yourself the rudiments of draping unless you are also a beginner at sewing. As a veteran sewer and novice draper, I received this as a textbook for my first draping class and appreciated it as a reference. But it's no substitute for a beginning sewing class. I would strongly recommend this for home sewers ready to move beyond commercial patterns or for first year fashion students.

The Art of Fashion Draping,
By Jessica Stanton "J. Stanton" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art of Fashion Draping (Paperback)
Good information in general, but there a lot of instructions that are unclear and/or EXTREMELY poorly edited (spelling/grammar mistakes etc). The book itself is not good quality and pages are already starting to fall out of my barely-month-old copy.

Very easy to follow,
By Phoenix - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art of Fashion Draping (Paperback)
I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Crawford and she is SO knowledgeable. THis book is a testament to her knowledge and experience in the fashion industry. I also recommend her patternmaking book as well (which I also own). This is one of my favorite references in my extensive art and design library. I definitely recommend it. It has a very easy to follow format and has lots of information not found in other draping books. I use this in conjunction with another book to get a full spectrum of techniques and inspiration for my own methods of draping.
