Since classical times, garments have been created by draping. So, what is draping in sewing? The term refers to the technique of designing by placing the material on a 3D dress form or body (instead of a flat, drafted pattern). To create an outfit using the style lines on your dress form, place your muslin on the dress form and pin it down. Once that is done, trace out the styles lines onto the muslin fabric. Wherever you have a dart, leave extra fabric out and pin it so you have enough material to create your dart allowance.

It is important to note that you can create your style lines on just one side of your dress form and fold your fabric in two when cutting it out do you get the same shape on both sides.
