This exercise uses the Shoulder Shell in combination with the Hip Expander to demonstrate how a new silhouet-
te can be draped from one piece of muslin. Note that there are only darts
to mold the fabric to the dress form. It is one pattern piece. The muslin has to be mirrored to complete the left side. Depending on the width of the fabric, selvage seams may be necessary to obtain the desired length. Using this draped pattern, multiple new designs can be created by making the darts into seams and adding new sections for more fullness in the skirt. You may also use tapes to establish new seam lines for a new design.
