Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to perform structured draping for tailored over-garments, such as jackets and overcoats.The unit of competency applies to work which requires special considerations to fit balance and inter-construction requirements of the jacket as an over-garment. Work includes partial flat pattern construction or blocks to complement the drape, such as with the development of sleeves and collars. Draping may be for a one-off garment that goes from drape to garment, or a prototype that goes from drape to flat pattern for small volume production. Draping is performed on a body form, such as a mannequin or model.Work is supervised and may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
