Advancing Design Creativity Through the Draping Process

Abstract

The design strategies of students in upper level design courses frequently rely on known seam placements and accents. Their approach tends toward the two dimensional as they develop skills through flat pattern exercises and flat sketching. The purpose of this classroom exercise is to present students with a creative problem that requires three-dimensional design development, a process that guides them beyond preconceived ideas about garment shape, fit, and the arrangement of fabric and seam lines on the body.
