Dress and Skirt in Drapes
An accent that is sometimes overlooked or over-used by some designers and fashionistas alike. It is after all something that’s not easy to make or to pull off, respectively. But remains one of the better styles made on apparel.
The previous night, the subject of making clothes was raised between a friend, who studied fashion in Florence, and I; pattern-making in particular. Thinking about drapes that create this dramatic look in a piece, looking seemingly like twas effortlessly made, we both agree that it takes a whole lot more than the knowledge of making a sewing machine work and putting pieces of fabrics together to create the drape effect. You have to learn how the fabric works with gravity and such, too.
It has become noticeably ordinary that they do the drapes on necklines. But did you know that there are other ways wherein the look works too?
This Drape Pocket Jersey Dress from Topshop come in a lighter shade of grey.
As for a Drape Pocket Skirt, also from Topshop, the look is more understated, ending up with a much simpler effect.
It adds dimension to the piece, to the entire look of an outfit you’re going for.
There you go. So, the next time you’re thinking of trying a new style, consider drapes.
