Hi, I want to start designing my own wedding apparel and am having hard time finding instuctional books/dvds on draping with dress forms. Does anyone out there know where I can find this info. I have some experience in this field, but would like to get into more professional details. Thanks, Pam

Check out your local community or 4 year college for fashion classes. See if you can audit the individual classes to keep the cost down. I've taken a flat patternmaking class that way. My local community college also has a draping class but I haven't been able to fit that class in yet. Have you googled pattern draping or pattern draping method or other combinations?

Draping info
I found this site several yrs ago. Not sure if it will help, but it can't hurt. Charles Kleibacker was a master of draping. Try this link, if it doesn't work go to Kent State University's website and do a search for Kleibacker. It is listed there and you'll need to have Java installed. Hope this helps.
