Draping with Knit Fabric

This is a work in progress of a dress I draped with knit fabric in the class I took this pass summer at Columbus College of Art and Design. When you drape knit fabric on a dress form; you have to stretch it really tight on the form to get the correct shape to convert to a pattern.

It is simply amazing to start with a piece of fabric and end up with a wearable garment. I absolutely love to drape fabric. It helps me be creative. This should look really good with a silver belt and some big sterling silver earrings.
