## Description

Buy Draping: The Complete Course: Second Edition 2 by Kiisel, Karolyn (ISBN: 9781786272317) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Keep them handy - Something to use for immediate emergency but also store for those panicky moments from family and friends in the future. Makes you a hero! Keep mine in a box marked " "For fabrics - First" Aid"
Review: Very usable and fun - This is a very detailed and comprehensive book. I’m slowly working my way through it. There are sections on how to drape all the main garments, focussing on the feminine/curvy form only. One amazingly cool thing is the huge number of worked examples: each one begins with a photo of a garment (eg a publicity shot of an actress in a lovely dress), then you get a series of photos and instructions where that EXACT shape is recreated in calico or a relevant material (for lightweight or other interesting fabrics). Not that they use the word “muslin” to describe the fabric which is called “calico” in the UK. I admit I am skipping some bits, and going back as needed, but even given that, I’m already getting some good results; first ever draped bodice block! I have no formal training in dressmaking, so cannot give an expert opinion, but as a home sewer I’m finding it very accessible - if you read carefully and take it at your own pace. I am very happy with the information on how to alter the fit, though I would have perhaps liked more photos of incorrect fits and how to ameliorate them. Next: the Gibson Girl blouse! I highly recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good detailed book
*by M***T on 19 January 2022*

This is a really well written and detailed book, providing step by step guidance for a complete novice. I have a couple of other books on draping but this one filled in the gaps for me.
