-Draping is an inexpensive and easy method of patternmaking.
-Draping checks the harmony between the design and the human body.
Explanation:
These are two reasons why designers might use draping to make the first pattern of a design. First of all, draping usually employs muslin as a fabric. Muslin is a cheap, unbleached cotton fabric that can be used instead of the real fabric. This makes the method unexpensive and easy. Another reason is that draping allows the designer to place the fabric on a mannequin, and thus check the harmony between the design and the human body.
