Thank you 🤗 Don't hesitate to check out Aurélie's courses on French Draping Method at modahow.com, we have released a new course on Jacket recently.

Merci à vous 🤩

Merci! 🤗

Hello, This free tutorial was filmed during the lockdown period by our professor Aurélie Vibet with her personal smartphone. This period was difficult for many people. Aurélie wanted to support our students' community and generally everyone who loves French craftsmanship. This video is not a professional quality film like our paid courses. It was impossible to produce professional videos during the lockdown. We were not authorized to gather. Usually, we don't share free tutorials. We consider it's better to learn once and from the best, with the professor's personal review, than to spend (a lot of) time watching free videos. Someone who starts can't see his errors, they need someone experienced to review. Also, Aurélie always sees errors in the youtube draping videos so be careful when copying someone. So this "lockdown" video is here in memory of this particular period we all had. Maybe we will add some more videos later because anyway our students love to try these new things. But we always advice to have a good knowledge foundation first. Cheers 🤗

You are welcome 🤗 We always translate our courses from French into English "by hand." Meaning that our subtitles are not automated because there is a lot of vocabulary, like "dress forms," "armscye," etc., which is never translated correctly by automated translators. The same with the individual feedback from our Professor Aurélie: we translate it from French into English for our English-speaking students and back into French for Aurélie "manually."

Hi Margarita thank you for your comment 😊. Yes this technique is really cool but not simple. As you work with biais and biais is not easy at all). And even with relatively simple things like Straight Skirt, as Mme Vibet says, "The simple things are the most difficult to make". Because they demand a lot of accuracy, eye training, knowledge of how to apply the garment balance and how to calculate the proportions properly. Little details make big difference 📚 The hem is straight 😉

@@Modahowcom Thank you! Yes, it only seems simple when someone else is doing it :)

Thank you, yes true, I haven't seen this kind of technique on catwalks recently). This dress comes from the archives of Metropolitan Museum. Have you tried the technique?)
