Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Very usable and fun - This is a very detailed and comprehensive book. I’m slowly working my way through it. There are sections on how to drape all the main garments, focussing on the feminine/curvy form only. One amazingly cool thing is the huge number of worked examples: each one begins with a photo of a garment (eg a publicity shot of an actress in a lovely dress), then you get a series of photos and instructions where that EXACT shape is recreated in calico or a relevant material (for lightweight or other interesting fabrics). Not that they use the word “muslin” to describe the fabric which is called “calico” in the UK. I admit I am skipping some bits, and going back as needed, but even given that, I’m already getting some good results; first ever draped bodice block! I have no formal training in dressmaking, so cannot give an expert opinion, but as a home sewer I’m finding it very accessible - if you read carefully and take it at your own pace. I am very happy with the information on how to alter the fit, though I would have perhaps liked more photos of incorrect fits and how to ameliorate them. Next: the Gibson Girl blouse! I highly recommend this book. Review: Keep them handy - Something to use for immediate emergency but also store for those panicky moments from family and friends in the future. Makes you a hero! Keep mine in a box marked " "For fabrics - First" Aid" ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 78,072 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 104 in Fashion History 209 in Fashion Design 732 in Needlework & Fabrics | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (316) | | Dimensions | 22.86 x 3.18 x 30.86 cm | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 1786272318 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1786272317 | | Item weight | 1.66 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 368 pages | | Publication date | 27 July 2020 | | Publisher | Laurence King Publishing | ## Images ![Draping: The Complete Course: Second Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/912fgWVAsLL.jpg) ![Draping: The Complete Course: Second Edition - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711JkWYHCyL.jpg) ![Draping: The Complete Course: Second Edition - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71I5GJ0heXL.jpg) ![Draping: The Complete Course: Second Edition - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vQMrJ6HnL.jpg) ![Draping: The Complete Course: Second Edition - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XaIArhMVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very usable and fun *by P***N on 8 May 2021* This is a very detailed and comprehensive book. I’m slowly working my way through it. There are sections on how to drape all the main garments, focussing on the feminine/curvy form only. One amazingly cool thing is the huge number of worked examples: each one begins with a photo of a garment (eg a publicity shot of an actress in a lovely dress), then you get a series of photos and instructions where that EXACT shape is recreated in calico or a relevant material (for lightweight or other interesting fabrics). Not that they use the word “muslin” to describe the fabric which is called “calico” in the UK.

I am very happy with the information on how to alter the fit, though I would have perhaps liked more photos of incorrect fits and how to ameliorate them. Next: the Gibson Girl blouse! I highly recommend this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keep them handy *by A***R on 19 April 2025* Something to use for immediate emergency but also store for those panicky moments from family and friends in the future. Makes you a hero! Keep mine in a box marked " "For fabrics - First" Aid" ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good detailed book *by M***T on 19 January 2022* This is a really well written and detailed book, providing step by step guidance for a complete novice. I have a couple of other books on draping but this one filled in the gaps for me. ## Frequently Bought Together - Draping: The Complete Course: Second Edition - Patternmaking for Fashion Design - Pattern Magic 3: The latest addition to the cult Japanese Pattern Magic series (dress-making, pattern design, sewing, fashion) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/193180884-draping-the-complete-course-second-edition](https://www.desertcart.in/products/193180884-draping-the-complete-course-second-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
