Fashion: Works In Progress. Pattern vs Hand Draping

PIC 1. Dresses in their current state.
PIC 2 &3. Their previous lives (the flat worm like paper patterns is the red dress now, the white dress obviously being the white ):)





The picture of the 2 dresses showcase an interesting POV on construction. Both dresses are 'draped' or more accurately, have drapes. The white (current state in pictures 1 while it's previous life is in picture 2), is draped with hand while the bodice is on the dress from. The red (current life in pics 1, while, yes, those 2 caterpillar shaped brown papers in pic 3 are its blueprint), purely generated from flat paper pattern. Both have their pros and their cons (flat and hand draping). I'm personally more comfortable using the paper pattern. I love precision and being able to replicate my clothes. Lets just put it at that :)
