Nick -what a joy to find these videos. I teach a fashion upcycing class at my school and these great tutorials are an absolute lifesaver when I've got 17 designers doing 17 different projects! Yours are so clear, informative, charming and fun; they will be wonderful in class! Thank you, thank you!

Nick can you please show how to bring up the side dart of a jacket into the neckline so it becomes part of the collar.

[@raginids4366]

Really i like fashion school 😊😊😊

[@Towelfoldingtutorial]

I like it!

[@theblacksal]

If I don't have muslin, can I use polomicro fabric?

[@alaskacosplay]

I need advice where did you get muslin material? I always use the actual material when I am sewing a new garment

[@cleonevalbrun9753]

Can you please do a video on how to pin it or bast stitch the drape so you dont loose the effect when you sew?

[@sprightly_old-master9724]

How much muslin did you use for this tutorial sir?

[@lydiadevries8408]

Oh, forgot to ask why do you use muslin to start with? Why not straight to the fabric?

[@prudentpatricia5326]

thank a lots

[@shellococo]

Would love to know how to line this.

[@gabhari]

Is it necessary to mark the "bias square" on the actual fabric, as was done on the muslin? I figure that since the weave of the muslin might differ from the actual fabric, it might not be as exact?

[@NickVerreosFashionSchool]

Hi Gabhari! It isn't so necessary to mark that "bias square" but it does help when trying to find the proper bias. When cutting on the bias, I try to "eye" the grain on the fabric when eye'ing my pattern on it. Usually, on most fabrics, you can kind of see the grains so I sort of just use my eye and fabric to place the pattern on the bias. But for novices, drawing that "bias square" might be helpful in the beginning. Hope this helps!--Nick

[@sumayyashaik5218]

how much fabric we should use for this pattern

[@golbarg4]

Awsome 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 you are great

[@kpr0ck]

my verreos can you please explain why in your basic draped dress (yellow dress ) you used the selvage (along the grain) to start the drape yet on this one you start on the bias?

[@kpr0ck]

draping a couture wrap dress

[@NickVerreosFashionSchool]

Hi darling! Good question! The reason I used the selvage for the drape of the yellow fabric is because this was a stretch knit jersey drape. And the draping lesson in which started with the bias was NOT--it was woven. When draping a garment using a jersey knit (stretchy) fabric it is pretty useless to use the bias (it stretches ALREADY!) unless of course, the knit is striped and you want to somehow utilize the stripes, etc. But when a drape is in a woven fabrication (the first "Advanced Drape" video), then it is much better to use the bias. The bias of a woven fabric stretches and almost acts as if it was knit (well, semi-knit). Anyhow, hope this helps and makes sense. To recap: When draping a dress/gown that is in jersey, never mind the bias. When doing a "draped gown" in a woevn fabric (silk, silk crepe, etc.), begin your drape using the bias. It will drape better and more beautifully. XO, Nick

[@kpr0ck]

thank you I understand..

You are beautiful and charismatic man 👌🏾. And I love your video.

[@Mali-v7h9f]

you re the best thank you

[@monicawilson9141]

i lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve

[@Favourstale1825]

Pls I need a tutor

[@diariodebordo_cynthialee]

Usted es muy incrible! Tchau! Besos!

[@tammylukas2813]

Ok...this method just turns out to be one hot mess. How do you know how to cut the bottom of the dress straight on the form? How do you take it off the dress form to sew it? The pinning when it's on the form causes the fabric to do funny things. I tried to repin it and then it's confusing to match things up when it's off the form . Not a single person on KZbin explains how you get it off the form and sew it. This method is not for me. The measurements just don't turn out either. Hats off to those that can figure it out. It's back to patterning for me. You make it look easy. I loved you on PR

[@Rai46149]

Think draping a Sari

[@susanburns4630]

I love your tutorials and have learnt lots but please stop playing the music it is to loud and fast it puts me off concentrating on what you are doing.

[@supermodelatlanta1354]

dude. why did you trace it? draw on the muslin? 😧💇 or at least trace on a cork board, you killing the tracing wheal. ☺

[@michellerendon804]

I love your videos! But please leave out the music! It's so annoying and distracting! Your voice is nice enough - don't need the music.
