Teagan Jacobs on Instagram: "When draping on the dress form I often get asked “but how do you get it off the mannequin?”. And the answer is usually- hand sewing. Full disclosure I was never technically taught on how to do this, but this is the technique I use. If I’m working with a sheer fabric and can’t use a pen or pencil (which is what I would typically use) then hand sewing acts as my pencil! Here I’m doing a basting stitch on the seam allowance and the apex of the bust. I then use lots of steam directly on the dress form, which helps hold the pleats in place. Now I can remove it from the dress form and continue working on my garment. What do you think of this technique? Is it something you’ve done before or would like to try? 🏹 #teaganjacobs ✨ Mannequin is gifted from @royaldressform Diy Mannequin Form, Draping Techniques Tutorials, Basting Stitch, Drape Pattern, Draping Techniques, Fabric Draping, Corset Pattern, Seam Allowance, Full Disclosure
