So I'm going to show you how to drape a one Dart bodice. We'll start with the same size muslin as previously 18 inches across by 24 in land 18 by 24. And once again, we're going to start by drawing a one inch grain line away from the salvage from the salvage of the muslin. And remember, don't start like this unless you can have the you'll be missing fabric here. So just go up a few inches, maybe three, four inches or so and start pinning this grain line onto the center front of the form. And you can pin we'll put a few pins onto center front like me Using the bottom of the tape, and we'll start with the neck line area.

And, again, do not cut straight across. Don't do that you have to do as you go up about an inch from the neck line go up but an inch or so, and cut for about one inch and then go upward. Just think up in the sky. Okay, you're gonna go up. And then with the scissors, we're going to slash the muslin to release the tension so that it lays flat onto the form just like that. Okay, so again, we're going to find our princess line or princess seeing here with your fingers, feel where the seam is, and we'll put a pin right there.

And we'll put a little crosshairs Mark, like so. And then we're going to take all this fabric here and fold it underneath just like this to create our dark Now again, see all this axis here, this tension here, we're going to slash into it and release the tension. We're going to put a temporary pin right here. But watch what happens as we start slashing towards the waistline. This tension goes away and you will have to readjust your dark a little bit so it's nice and flat and smooth. Maybe a couple of times, all this extra fabric we don't really need to sit like we did earlier.

We can treat All of this Ah, there we go. See that tension is gone. We'll do one more slash right here. There we go. So basically, that's pretty much it. I'm going to mark my waistline, bottom of the tape.

There's my waistline, mark where the two fabrics meet. Continue your waistline. Again, you want to make sure that when you release the pain you have this is your Dart You see that? I'm gonna pin the back. Continue marking your side seeing and where the shoulder meets the armhole will mark the arm hole and the shoulder And the neckline just like we did earlier, again, little, little dots, just like this. Okay, let's mark the apex, we need to know where the apex is because we have to back away from the apex to create our dark, remember, okay, so there is the apex right there, we'll put a little cross.

Okay. And that's pretty much it. Now it's a matter of taking it off the form and transferring all this, this information onto the paper. I'm not going to do that because it gets repetitious and you're gonna get bored. But you know the routine by now between this little bit of draping and some pattern making you know that the next step is to transfer all these little cross marks to data paper at seam allowance created Dart through a dart etc and then go from there. Okay, next I'm going to show you how to drape a back very simple basic back that we can now combine with runs.

See you next class.
