  WOW… I never tried draping paper. I just use really cheap fabric – gingham muslim for woven garments and a super cheap distressed velvet for jerseys (and sometimes remnants I know I won’t be using for other things). Sometimes I also just drape the final fabric. I usually transfer the pattern to paper later for storage, just because it takes so much less space. Draping is so much fun, such a much more creative process compared to using flat patterns! :)

  I have the most common style lines attached to my dress form at all times, as e.g. princess seam lines, bust/apex, waist, side seams etc. I used to use the standard 1/16" twill tape, but a while ago I changed to a somewhat flat cotton cord, which is much easier to feel with your finger through the draping fabric. With that in place, I real quickly mark e.g. the princess seam lines on my fabric. I added the style lines to my dress form as Mimi Goodwin shows in her video on YouTube, it was very useful since I hadn’t done it before.
