Garments that are classified as draped today may also have elements of tailoring. Today, it is rare to find a garment that is completely draped. For instance, the draped garment in Module 4, probably has some kind of interlining that holds the shape for the bust area. I find it difficult to classify more modern garments as either draped or tailored because there are usually elements of both techniques in their construction.
This dress work by a Native American girl taken in 1907, represents a historical draped garment.
The way kimono is worn is an example of draped garments. Kimono can be layered and worn at different lengths, and then obi is draped and tied to hold the garment in place.
This Madeleine Vionnet dress is from 1914. Vionnet is credited as having started the bias-cut draping revolution.
This dress was made in Victorian-era England by Madame Hawkes. It represents the epitome of high fashion tailored dress and would have been worn with a fitted corset and bustle underneath.
The "Souper dress" was made anonymously in response to the PopArt movement of the 1960s led by Andy Warhol. The shift dress represents the most basic elements of a tailored garment and is usually made entirely by pattern.
In the 1990s, Jean-Paul Gaultier reinvented the corset giving it a new edginess including visible "nips". In similar ways, Vivienne Westwood has used inspiration from Victorian corsets and bustles in her collections over the last 3 decades.
