Draping a Bias Dress

[@lindsaygoodwin3140]

1930's bias dresses had all these beautiful shapes and seams, which helped to eliminate waste. Bias dresses can have very little waste if planned correctly.

[@johnnytme]

Thank you Nick, I attended F.I.T. in 1986/87 and have done nothing with my education. You have inspired me to sew and drape again.

[@MagdalenaRajnohova]

Oh no, such a pity, but happy for you now u started again

me encantó! !siempre me ha costado mucho costurar un vestido al bies y mucho más que el drapeado del busto quede bien,..ya mismo voy a utilizar tu técnica. Sos genial Nick..! sigue siempre así! ! Un gran abrazo !

[@pamelabrinkley6900]

I'm a big fan. Love your videos😊

[@JR-xw9rx]

I draped a test out of polyester cheap fabric and fit is great-but have sewn up cheap poly one and issues always arise. Would love more techniques on bias sewing/linings for silks and sewing tips. Would you be adding any of these tutorials? I'm making a dress I designed in expensive silk charmeuse and do not want to mess it up. Love your turtorials!!!

[@NickVerreosFashionSchool]

Hi Joanne! OMG!!! Tell me about it! (sewing cheap polyester satins on the bias!!). When reading your comment I almost had the (fashion) shivers! Oh the unraveling, the fabric shredding...oh the cheap poly! Bless its heart. I wish I could tell you there was a special trick but there isn't. It's what you must go through when sewing in that cheap fabric so you don't waste it on an expensive silk charmeuse. To help, however, make sure you use a needle that is small,--like size "11" or smaller; made for sewing thinner fabrics. And also, a tighter tension on your machine's tension knob might help as well. Also using smaller stitch sizes might help. It's the unraveling of the fabric at the edges that makes me KRAZEE!!!! Anyhow, hope some of this info. helps and Best of Luck. Also, I wish I could do sewing tutorials but I think there are enough videos online of these and for now, I just wanted to concentrate on Draping and Patterns as well as Sketching. All of those videos take a lot of time so I didn't want to get too involved with adding another layer of videos--like sewing ;) At least for now. Thank you for enjoying my tutorials btw! XO, Nick

[@JR-xw9rx]

Hello Nick,Thank you for your response! I am sorry for the delay in seeing this. I also had the fashion shivers the whole time with the horrible shredding. I would never waste on the beautiful Charmeuse Ombre I purchased at Mood! That would be a nightmare. My fabric is stunning. I actually powered through two test runs on draping and sewing -even lining...(amid all shredding and horror) of that poly for fit as well and glad I did! I did find many tutorials on needle sizes, tension, threads and stitches for silk online. I finally cut the REAL DEAL and sewing is working out beautiful. The dress fits me so wonderful. Steaming it while sewing makes me shiver now. I have my old text books from FIT when I graduated in 1980-before you were a twinkle in your parents eyes.LOL. It has been 30 years since I designed. ( I had to change careers-long story) I am semi-retired and back at it enjoying creating clothes, but just for me! I love to drape and its wonderful for you to take the time to answer me. Keep posting the videos! I wish they had this when I was in school. Love your upbeat and funny personality. :) Joanne

[@lamirandagordon8716]

would you put a lining inside the dress...how would you get rid of the triangular piece I side the dress? I'm new at this

[@3ber]

Thank you so much i finally know how to do it, i study in a shitty school that always ask us to do things but never actually teach us how to do it

[@angisdeliciousdelicacies6945]

Hi Nick, love you... Ur fashion school is just awesome.. 😍😍

[@priyadarshanisahu4463]

It's too beautiful sir....me too learning a lot from u.... from an Indian Grl prabha....

[@woolandwaterknits4801]

l love your enthusiasm and spark! It would be wonderful to see a video on making a silk bias slip for under a dress (spaghetti strap or strapless) b/c it is so hard to find slips in the stores especially in a fashion color or long ones.

[@NickVerreosFashionSchool]

Hello Anon: I will definitely put your suggestion on my list of future videos! A bias-cut simple slip dress :) --XO, Nick

Very clearly explained. Thanks.

[@SL67OP]

How do you transfer this style on to paper in order to get a pattern, or is this a daft question?

[@lanabidaultsaliege186]

Very good draping video thank u ! I have a question at the end though, how do you remove the tight dress securely from the stand without ruining all the pining ? And if it was a longer skirt would you just continue pining until the end of the skirt ? Thanks !!

Great job Nick

[@emmalove135]

Do you add a sheer, stretchy strip of elastic to attach to each side of the upper shoulders in back to help prevent the shoulders from slipping down the arms? Or , perhaps a length of jewel “ bling” in the shape of a “ Y “ as a nice decor attachment?

[@anidaralopez5676]

I'm going to dig through your videos to find where you actually transfer the fabric you draped to a pattern(?) to use for cutting the real material. I'm sure there's got to be one somewhere. Thank you again!

[@nokobomoley2962]

Thank you so much and stay safe.

[@sylviawaide4217]

can you show how to sew it as well. I am wondering how to sew the Cowl.

[@jaredini]

Easiest way to learn how to sew nearly anything is to take and old shirt and take it apart and studying how it all goes together. It's all just working folds and seams and fitting peices together like a jigsaw.

[@sledding9606]

Amazing teacher!

[@sussanotuata3850]

Thank you for your tutorials, please how do I get the right measurements on the form and how do l take the drape out for sewing. Thank you

[@NickVerreosFashionSchool]

Hi Sussan: Thank you for your questions! 1) In terms of measurements, I'm assuming your talking about your personal measurements? What I do, for example, if a certain client is bigger that the form: I use shoulder pads and pin them to the bust, waist, hips, and as I am adding the shoulder pads, I keep measuring those areas with a measuring tape...until I get the size right. If you are smaller than the form, then it's a little trickier. I would suggest, draping your style on the form and then removing as much as you need from the sides of your drape. If you are a size 6 but your form is an 8, then you should remove 1/4" off of each side of your dress both in the front and back pieces. 2) To take the drape out of the form for sewing, take the pins out and if you want to go directly to sewing machine, don't forget to leave an opening on the side of your bias dress for your zipper. Hope this helps! --Nick
