And the process of pinning and positioning fabric on a dress plays a very important role to develop the advance garment design. At the beginning of any design process, the fashion designer has two ways of creating a garment: either one can use a design sketch as a basis or they can play with the way a fabric falls.

Usually, Fashion draping and fitting are done with muslin, it is an unbleached, loosely woven cotton, it is also absolutely inexpensive. The fabric helps to resolve any design and fitting issues for draping before cutting the pattern in the real fabric. However, choosing the type of muslin is very important to drape the fabric which has similar drape characteristics and which falls and folds in the same way as the real fabric of the finished garment.
