Stage 4: Select and prepare the material: Prepare the garment material and since the whole garment is cut, allow enough material to cover both sides of the stand for each section. When estimating the amount needed for draped styles, bear in mind the extra fabric will be requires for the drawing up of folds from the bottom down from they top and the depth of the fold itself. The draping quality of the warp and weft grain should be the same in order to match both sides of a drape. Allow plenty of excess material beyond the outer edges of the stand and mark in the centre vertical line and the warp grain with a contrasting thread.
