[@cherylsimmons784]

Baby girl, you are a most excellent teacher and I am thankful I found you, girl. Of course, keep up the good work. Thank you and may GOD bless you and you always 😊

[@nouchhen9434]

This video is really helpful. i really love fashion but i don't have much money to learn at school so i check youtube to find the way out and now i got it. now i can drape and cut and saw all i need and all i want.Thank you so much Daniela.

[@andynguyen5006]

thank you Daniela for refreshing my memory of school days. enjoy your draping techniques very much. noted for myself on how to pin the pieces together for fitting instead of sewing.

[@elennabellow698]

Girl, your method of draping is so much easier than what I tried before! THANK YOU SO MUCH ♥

[@ianlejeune865]

I have to say that you have saved my life, I had no idea how to drape, and now, I'm beginning to learn from you technics, thank you soooo much !!! from Luxembourg ;) hug

[@primechikweru3608]

"no stretching! smooth the fabric. let the fabric talk to you" says nick verreos. your technique is a bit different. but it works. while you were working i thought that the garment would be tight. but it fits well. thanks for the video. if you can, please make a video about draping on a real person. how would one go about pinning? I and many others would greatly appreciate it.

[@guitarguy4372]

p chizunum 'snip and ahhhh' 😂

[@TashaSewingTutorials]

When draping on a real person, use masking tape, not pins

[@baybeetacoo8734]

I watch Nick Verros too 😂

[@leonnardspencer]

I SEE THIS CHANEL THREE DAY AGO AND I JUST FALL IN LOVE FOR YOU DANIELA!!!! I WISH YOU SUCCESS AND MANY BLESSINGS! KISSES FROM BRAZIL!! I LOVE U MUCH CONGRATS!!!!

[@modalamomo]

OMG! you just made my entire life make sense!! I love draping but Idk why something just clicked in my head with how you explained everything! Thank you, awesome work!

[@ritakaushik5045]

super demo for draping a princess line gown, never seen a better draping lesson.Loved it !!

[@lavenderrevenge4427]

I just finished a draping course at my local college and have been feeling burnt out. This video has re inspired me! I love this method and can't wait to get through your other videos.

[@klgm63]

I am a first year fashion student. This tutorial relieved my fright of even attempting something like this. You did a beautiful job. Made it very understandable. Thank you for your generosity and taking the time to make this tutorial.

[@yanmartinez9811]

Daniela, I want to start saying that you inspired me to keep going on my dream as a fashion designer. I follow your channel and watch your videos over and over. I just hope that you post a lot videos like this one. God Bless your talent. Hug and kisses from Puerto Rico.

[@jenniferbell3539]

Thank you for making these videos. I am self taught. It’s one thing to read big textbooks and another thing to watch it being done in real life. It was very helpful watching you drape this dress. Again thanks 🙏🏽

[@olayinkaburrows3737]

Honestly, your passion just exudes through the screen with your videos. Keep it up, God bless.

[@MsCamcam999]

You inspired me to make my prom dress this year and I am so happy I did because I created something that was 100% me. I want to create something like this for next year but I don't have a dress form. Do you, or any others, think it is necessary for me to get a dress form if I plan on making a fit and flare/somewhat mermaid dress as you have here. I'm not experienced really at all when it comes to draping and I even found myself getting confused on creating a princess seam for the bodice of my dress, but I was able to in the end. In conclusion, should I invest in a dress form and take a draping class? I don't want to spend an incredible amount however. Thank you to all who took the time to read this and have a great day!!!

[@mekizzy]

thanks so much for doing these videos, just watched four of your videos and I feel like I've learned more than two years in college. Can't wait to watch the rest.

[@funsizeddancer2505]

wow! inspired!!! im only 8 weeks old with sewing and I have made some really nice things with out patterns!!! I donno about what you were talking about but I'm inspired 😎😎😎😋😋 excellent teaching and excellent video I did learn a few things. Thank you for sharing!!!😇😇😇😇😇🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@korkeshaarrington7223]

Great tutorial. Thank you. A nice V back with a high neckline and long sleeves. The color choice should be a deep rich color like royal blue or majestic purple. I'm going to try and see my own holiday gown this year.

[@SG-lc2gk]

You make it look so easy

[@sistahzkreationz]

You did an awesome job. I've seen a few draping videos, your video was by far the best and easiest to follow. Keep up the great work that you are doing. Bless you.

[@emdee_679]

This is so awesome.👌 As a fashion student this helps I find your draping videos to be very helpful and knowledgeable as drape isn't much of my strong suit. Thank you.😊

[@idkyetdou]

This is a super fantastic tutorial! Absolutely lovely!!

[@jenn7210]

You are freaking amazing. I also have a fashion background and it's rare to find someone who is good at design, pattern, and sewing! It's amazing that you can do all that so well AND record yourself AND make videos and be highly creative all at the same time. I'm really in awe of your talents. Thank you for sharing your videos.

[@kaycooper8001]

Thanks for the tips. I will be making my first wedding dress and this is what the bride would like. Her dress is more backless but I believe I can apply the same technique to the design she wants.

[@deepkaur6855]

I love your videos. simply amazing... I never used a pattern for my clothes. but I really liked the simple way of draping you showed. thanks

[@parishaikh7926]

wow I think u r such a calm while explaining thank u so much.

[@QueenB1066]

Thank you so much for sharing. I've learned so much from you and you're an awesome teacher.

[@jennielin508]

oooh! I think a high neck, with a small beaded cap sleeve, with a low v cut back would look great! in a bold blue color!

[@lauricehubbard4988]

I really enjoy watching your videos. U make it look so easy designing beautiful gowns. 👍🏾👸🏾👗

[@ismailmeziani9965]

It's just perfect! You're a genius, Daniela!

[@tribecalledFASHION]

thank you for sharing your knowledge! I would really like to see a see through top with added appliques on the top.

[@UrbanNaree]

I just love your channel... Will surely make some dresses for myself... Love from INDIA 🇮🇳

[@MusiqChildx]

I would love to see you create a piece from start to finish. I'd love to learn about a designers thought process and creation process.

[@shenitazl]

Daniela, thank you so much for sharing. This video is very helpful. You're so talented! 😘

[@j.williams4507]

Thanks I really appreciate your help. This is beautiful. I feel like I could do this. You make it look so simple.

[@ashleywilliams4149]

I love your videos and you should really consider offering classes to drape and design. I went to NY just to take a 2 day class on draping.

[@dinorahhenriquez7295]

Girl you rock you bring me memories at my days at F.S.

[@jamespayt]

You are MAD talented! I love your tutorials!! ❤️

[@lucial8562]

great video!! thank you very much for sharing this. You are so talented! I'm just making a wedding dress. It's really helpful. Thank you again.

[@msjagfun]

I’m so grateful for you 🙏🏾 I’m self taught with black fashion designer wows as well. My challenge is pattern making usually it’s made to be so complicated so again thank you. I would like to see you do tube top to mermaid and also bustier top as well . Look forward to learning more from you and sharing tips as well. Ms. Hollins Privatecollectionsinc.

[@scrubflex4922]

If I had you as my teacher for my draping course in FIT I would have excelled it along with pattern making. Thank you so much Daniela Tabois. You've inspired me "TO GET MY DRAPE ON"!!! To get started draping my design ideas. I'm a self-taught flat pattern maker but, watching you gives me the confidence that I will do it too. If I can make a request, could you drape another mermaid silhouette dress or evening that have an (ARMHOLE PRINCESS LINE) bodice or dress with a (CIRCULAR FLARED FLOUNCE) lower skirt. Example ideas for a flounce skirt STYLE LINE can be a "V Point"..."inverted V Point...or "Zig-Zag" to make it interesting. Please let me know what you think of my request.

[@franciscagondwe1718]

This is very good Daniela. Am learning a lot from you.

[@Ayanatheprojector]

I love this shape! Im learning so much from you Daniela thank you!!!

[@goldasimpson551]

[@JenniferAnidu]

I love all your videos. thank you so much for sharing. off shoulder dress. please were can I get the white backdrop and the floor mat it looks like wood. please. thank you

[@jyfly_]

Thanks Daniela! I’m an aspiring designer & this was very informative. I didn’t understand draping until now. Where is the video of you transferring the measurements onto pattern paper? I don’t see it

[@valeriamarte3381]

i love your videos I have learn a lot with your videos, I would love to one day try to do my own dress ❤️

[@erin_m_campbell4528]

do a deep v-neck and the dress in the black materiel. can you also do sleeves because i have no idea how to drape/pattern draft sleeves. if you end up doing sleeves, make them a black lace so you have a contrast between the solid black dress on the body and see through lace sleeves. it would look super edgy and professional

[@SuperModerngranny]

I like what I see, but I thought draping garments need grainlines as guidelines, otherwise the garment might not hang well and/or pull out of shape? Also, I thought you need to drape all the panels together (at the same time) following grainlines so that notches can be marked for matching especially so for very close fitting garments to void puckers and also for easing and shaping during pressing and sewing, no?

[@dejacarter3967]

I am a fashion student trying to figure out what to try to make since I've never draped yet, Deep V with long sleeves?

[@ambiebby1636]

@Daniela Tabois How did you match up the flared sections of the bottom since you freehanded it? I can tell you adjusted the lines, but you didn't show or say how in the video.

[@MimiMaliacom]

omg where have you been? so amazing....please make more videos....Thanks so much

[@agrondinsmith85]

Wow! Thank you for sharing this!

[@janetwilson1954]

you took my breath away aaaaaa

[@jaysonpadilla9063]

Idk why but this is so intimidating and even though I love watched this over and over I can’t do this dress

[@secreteobsession3584]

great video where did you get your great dummy and wire under the dummy.

[@chrismartin7077]

Very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing. How about a low back. That seems to be what everyone wants right now.

[@chelseakelly149]

I'm about to start on my wedding dress and I just want to double check... I noticed on your fitting video you don't have a center seam from this pattern, does that mean that you line up the grain lines from the left and right front pieces to make one center panel? Thank you!! Your videos are rad and such an awesome help.

[@alkaalka5070]

you are amazing .. such a nice and easy way ....😄

[@adb6696]

that was really helpful, maybe a mermaid dress with a heart shaped top.

[@beachluver1]

Hello I cant seem to find the next step video...Love your work thank you!!

[@heatherechols5396]

I love your videos!!! Thank you so much!!

[@gnatareno]

Love this method! Have you experimented with batting a dress form for a larger size? I have a size 8 dress form, but I'm definitely not a size 8, so I can never drape anything for myself. A tutorial on batting would be amazing!

[@praisenyandimu]

yes this is so true i too would like to learn that am a size 14 ueropian size

[@MyTeenLifeLoLTV]

Yes please!! I've always wanted to learn about that!!

[@im_an_oyster]

Gaby Natareno This is totally an eye balling method but you can hold your pieces up against your body and see how much more you need to add. Get a friend to help you it's hard to do by yourself.

[@sinemance7982]

Hey. I am an absolute beginner and wonder what draping is needed/used for? 🙈

[@Lubilee10]

Hello From Germany! Thank u so for this nice and helpful tutorial! :)

[@mariescott5682]

Really fab video thank you for sharing x

[@d.i.ypetaccessories]

If I was making something like this out of a stretchy fabric would I need to cut on the bias at all or just usual with the grain? Still learningb

[@DanielaTabois]

It depends on your design. Bias cuts are used with woven fabrics like silks, satin, charmeuse, etc. You can use the bias cut technique with knits/jerseys but you will have to control the drape, as these will give more than wovens in length.

[@italodepace7545]

This is a beautiful video when I learn very

[@_idomybessst]

I'm a fashion student trying to figure out what to make for class this summer what about a deep V neck
