Couture Draping Tutorial: Pleated Draping

In this draping tutorial, I demonstrate how to create a pleated couture skirt that wraps from the front and continues seamlessly into the back. You’ll see how to control volume, direction, and flow while draping pleats directly on the form to achieve a sculptural yet fluid silhouette. Apologies in advance for how I sound in this video — I recorded this while feeling under the weather. ⸻ ✂️ Want to Learn Couture Draping From Start to Finish?
