"Fitting room" experience






In order to see and feel the materials better, I went shopping and tried on some different draping style garments. Soft fabric (satin, chiffon etc.) normally gives garments a soft, flowy, shiny effect. On the other hand, harder fabric (cotton etc.) creates more shape and texture. It is important to experience and take a good look at different materials in order to understand the differences between them.

I've noted down some points of material awareness before and during draping process:
  • Transparency/Thickness
  • Weight
  • Softness/ Hardness
  • Light-catch
  • Stretch
  • Straight of grain
