Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to perform contour draping for styled garments that are worn against the body. Draping may be for a one-off garment that goes from drape to garment or a prototype that goes from drape to flat pattern for small volume production. Draping is performed on a body form, such as a mannequin or model.

This unit applies to individuals who work in accordance with design specifications.

No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements	Performance Criteria
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Prepare to perform contour draping	1.1 Select and prepare draping tools and equipment based on design specifications 1.2 Plot design lines from working drawings onto body form, using narrow tape 1.3 Check and confirm measurements against specifications 1.4 Prepare fabric for draping according to fabric characteristics and garment design
2. Plan drape	2.1 Identify requirements for adding ease and manipulating dart excess 2.2 Plan seam positioning and develop drape plan based on design requirements 2.3 Prepare cover designs if a fitted foundation to support volume draping or layering is required
3. Perform drape	3.1 Pin fabric on body form and perform draping operations to meet design requirements 3.2 Remove drape from model 3.3 Finalise drape and direct to next production process
