haute couture moulage, draping at Christian Dior

An example of direct draping technique (moulage) by a modelist at Christian Dior.
A remake from a 1939 gown designed for the house of Robert Piguet.

I love when they show the artists in the ateliers. These talented people make the designers dream come to life. It's this kind of hard work in the background that makes it all seem so effortless on the runway! Cheers!

I do moulage and drapping too. It's like a tutorial video in my channel 💞

So talented. You can tell she is exactly sure of what she is doing the way she just fearlessly cuts the Muslin

WOW ! It's fascinating to see someone who has a big knowledge and so talented ! Thanks for sharing! 🤗👏

[@lilMissF0F0]

Here's what she's done: First she does the calculations of the body measurements and the dimensions, she uses a tape as guide lines of where this and that lays on the body as well as highlighting the bust/waist/hip line being parallel to the floor and the apex point (center of the bust which is useful to create darts ). She cuts a squared patterned cloth and mark the center front/back and places the cloth with the CB/CF lines on the center of the body. And drapes the fabric according the the tape guidelines. She uses a ruler to measure and mark the pleated lines evenly and places it on the body. She does only one side because the other side is exactly the same. What happens later, she should mark the pattern and where the joints are, writing notes numbers or guidelines if necessary. Then she will unpin the cloth and lay it flat on the table , refine the marks. Then this becomes a pattern, this pattern will be placed on top of the design fabric and follow the pattern made. :)

Thanks for all the great lovely responses! Things have been quite busy around here. There are plans for a series of VERY interesting videos. I'll be showing some genuine haute couture basics from scratch! How to accurately take measures of a body (and a fitting mannequin), compensating for the asymmetries, how to place the bolducs (guiding ribbons) on mannequins, how to make your personal customized fitting mannequin, how to create your base patterns... Just have a little patience! ;)
