Draped and custom made

Draped and custom made

Today we drape our first bodice. We create from a two-dimensional fabric a three-

dimensional top. You can then change this top according to your design and taste.

I work on the dressform, but if you don’t have it, you can also drape directly on a person who wears a tight-fitting top , on this top you can pin your fabric.

This bodice can then also be the basice pattern for you, and your variations

It is great fun to drape on the dressform or directly on a body,where you can immediately see the effect and the fabrics fall.

Let’s start right away with our work!

I, Sophie Springer, born in Vienna, studied fashion design in Florence and

specialized in bags, for which I learned both the craft and the design.

Since 2004 I have my own bag collection “Sophie

Springer”; from design and cutting to manufacturing, everything happens in

Florence, where I have lived for more than 30 years.

For 15 years I have been teaching in various

international fashion schools in this city; I give courses in draping,

pattern drawing, sewing and accessories.

Due to the Covid crisis, in 2020 I started to teach online courses

which is a highly interesting experience and challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
