Draping in Miniature 1day workshop

Service Description

Many European fashion schools use draping in miniature as a way of testing out new ideas and envisioning a garment concept more quickly. The scaled down half-sized muslins serve as a “brainstorming” format for advanced theories. Working on the true half-size dressform with muslin, students will experience draping in half-size and discover the unique applications this provides. As students work out theories in miniature, they can translate them to full size on full sized dress forms in the classroom. This class is taught by fashion designer Pamela Ptak who makes custom garments for red carpet events & worked 12 seasons on designer collections for the Paris Haute Couture and NY Fashion Week. Bring to class: 5+ yds of muslin, notebook, style tape for designing, pencils for marking & drafting tools for trueing in patterns.
