1) Paperback Book The Art of Fashion Draping by Fairchild Books & Visuals. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Crawford and she is SO knowledgeable. THis book is a testament to her knowledge and experience in the fashion industry. I also recommend her patternmaking book as well (which I also own). This is one of my favorite references in my extensive art and design library. I definitely recommend it. It has a very easy to follow format and has lots of information not found in other draping books. I use this in conjunction with another book to get a full spectrum of techniques and inspiration for my own methods of draping.¤

2) Paperback Book The Art of Fashion Draping by Fairchild Books & Visuals. Good information in general, but there a lot of instructions that are unclear and/or EXTREMELY poorly edited (spelling/grammar mistakes etc). The book itself is not good quality and pages are already starting to fall out of my barely-month-old copy.

3) Paperback Book The Art of Fashion Draping by Fairchild Books & Visuals. Excellent intro for novice sewers as a text, or experienced sewers wanting to learn draping skills. Covers tools/equipment, terms/elements of draping, the basic bodice/skirt/shift/sleeve, princess bodice/dress, skirt variations, pants, sleeve and armhole variations, collars, cowl necks, yoke variations, knits, and a few intermediate fashion features like sculptured pleats, bias, boned bustier, ruffles/flounces/gathering, and peplums. To follow the exercises, you must have a dress form (preferrably professional) to work with. But with numbered steps giving a very simplified process, and the very clear and numerous b/w diagrams, you should be able to teach yourself the rudiments of draping unless you are also a beginner at sewing. As a veteran sewer and novice draper, I received this as a textbook for my first draping class and appreciated it as a reference. But it´s no substitute for a beginning sewing class. I would strongly recommend this for home sewers ready to move beyond commercial patterns or for first year fashion students.¤

4) Paperback Book The Art of Fashion Draping by Fairchild Books & Visuals. This revision of an easy-to-follow bestseller teaches the different methods and principles
involved in draping fabric on the dress form. The Art of Fashion Draping, 3rd Edition is organized
from basic to more advanced topics and includes a wide variety of styles. New and
revised illustrations and updated instructions keep the book up to date with a younger and
more fashionable look. This beautifully illustrated book is an invaluable teaching tool for
fashion design, clothing, and dressmaking students and professionals.¤
