Drape is the quality customers describe as “expensive” without knowing why. It is how a garment falls, moves and settles on the body — and it is designed in long before the first sample.
Gauge and yarn weight
A finer gauge with a fluid yarn drapes softly; a heavier gauge with a dense yarn holds structure. The trick is matching the two to the silhouette you want.
Structure changes everything
Ribs pull in, links and pointelle open up and add movement, and a relaxed jersey falls straight. Choosing the right structure for each panel is how you control the fall.
We plan drape from the first sketch and prove it on a swatch, so the sample behaves the way the design intended.
