I love it! You explain it so well that I believe that I can do it myself😊 The problem is, how to add the lining and see it all together🤔

[@davidjunioraponte5497]

Nick! hi I'm big fan from Puerto Rico can you please do a video where you take us for shopping fabics . like what to look for what we can use how much to buy ect. thanks for your videos. And it will be great if you make like a seminar class where we can attend and learn in person. David

[@ellem7258]

Beautiful!!! Can u do a video from draping, cutting, sewing, to finish product. ; ) Love ur videos, thanks for sharing!!!

[@ollyinny6870]

Wow, was just going to ask exactly this question. But also, Nick uses a tiny sized mannequin....what to do with size 20, 18, 16...etc? Any hope of draping for these sizes? I have an adjustable mannequin but once expanded, it tends to lose some curviness..... Looking forward to your response.

[@charliemeta9246]

@@ollyinny6870 that is my question too

[@naseebamir1997]

Thank you so much

[@magdalenaluscombe5041]

Dear Nick, Thank you so much for your wonderful tuition! Can’t believe I’m learning how to drape and I love it. I have a problem though.... I have made several dresses for friends and now I have been asked to make a copy of one but in a large size. My dummy, although adjustable is too small. Can you show me how to transfer a pattern (made previously by draping) from a size 12 (English) to 18. I know it’s a big ask but you explain everything so well and you make it easy to remember!! PS. I have ordered your book entitled “passion for fashion” from Amazon UK but I have to wait until February for it’s release here. I can barely contain myself!! Thank you Nick you are the best! Magdalena :-)

Just one thing, could you specify that where would be the fastenings and that how it would be stitched as in which parts would be stitched? Looking forward to your response!! Thanks !!

[@christinastella6]

How to make custom drape if the customer's body isn't same with dummy?

[@unique_smb]

Can u show original pictures

[@kairojunandini5441]

how take this type kids megerment

[@mdaazeem1412]

sir hindi me nhi bta sakte aap

[@jcmfdesigns]

The Design is nice and a good technique , but I think that strap on the back doesn't look good. A suggestion instead of bringing the right side until the arm bring it until the edge of strap of the bow . so you dont have to use the strap

[@shareeflower5629]

Yes Nick, please can you show us how to transfer this to a pattern and eventually sew it all together into a FULL dress? It's all good and well to show us how to design these gorgeous dresses but If you don't give us the whole process, what is the point of your videos? Honestly!

[@danielutzon4870]

Sharee Flower you just remove the fabric and transfer it to pattern paper/tracing paper? Honestly, theres plenty tutorials for that. Nick creates free content so dont be an asswipe and complain.

[@cityzoo777]

go to "daniela tabois" channel. u might get what u want. drape, transfer to paper and sew

[@ninja13b]

After you mark it lay the drape flat and trace it on to paper onto the paper. You can either lay tracing paper over the fabric and trace that way or you can use a tracing wheel and trace the markings that way. Dont forget to true seam lines with rulers and curve tools so they're straight.

[@perola1929]

Yes

[@belangemutunda4630]

@sharee flower he made some videos on how to do it
