Draping

Winter/Spring 2012 Courses Now Available Online!

The Competency-Based Certificate program in Draping is intended primarily for those students who need to enhance their draping skills but do not wish to enroll in a degree program. The program consists of four sequential courses which are offered over a four-semester time span. Projects that incorporate both draping and patternmaking techniques are explored using a variety of approaches and methods in developing and analyzing patterns.

Entrance to the program requires a knowledge of clothing construction and/or tailoring skills. Students will be able to: 

1. Recognize, evaluate, and execute diverse draping styles; 
2. Create original designs and patterns; 
3. Improve fitting techniques; and 
4. Interpret and execute specific silhouettes, styles and market trends.

Curriculum (10 credits):

• DP 111 Draping Proficiency I
• DP 112 Draping Proficiency II
• DP 211 Draping Proficiency III
• DP 212 Draping Proficiency IV

The courses do not replace draping courses in the Fashion Design degree track. Full-time and part-time Fashion Design and Patternmaking students may take them for extra credit or as free electives.
