Draping
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:
- Recognize, evaluate, and execute diverse draping styles;
- Create original designs and patterns;
- Improve fitting techniques; and
- 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.
