Description:
Drape Drape 2 is the follow-up to the cult Japanese draping book Drape Drape and the latest in the new series from Bunka Fashion College.
Includes 14 stylish contemporary designs for tops, dresses, skirts, vests, and jackets, with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and diagrams
that skilfully guide the reader through the draping process. With two full-scale patterns at the back, this book provides exciting design ideas and
highly practical techniques for readers looking to continue exploring the art of draping.
This is the English translation of the super-popular home sewing book Drape Drape (which as of now has become a 3-book series) that was
originally published in Japan by Bunka Publishing. I own this edition, and am familiar with the original Japanese edition. I loved the original
Japanese edition, but I feel that a bit of the quality of this book was lost in translation.The patterns are provided in 4 sizes, ranging from bust size
78cm (30.5 inches) to 90cm (35.5 inches), which roughly correspond to US pattern sizes 6 to 12. Thus, if you usually take pattern sizes bigger
than 12, you might not want to get this book unless you know how to resize patterns. The designs in this book are probably the most fashion-
forward that you will find in any sewing book (outside of the Pattern Magic series). There are 9 dresses, 8 tops, and 2 pants, mostly designed to
be constructed with jersey, some with voile or georgette. These are some of my favorite designs out of all the books and patterns I own, and I am
looking forward to making many of them. All the designs are of a certain modern, minimalist style that may not appeal to everyone; but if you are a
big fan of brands like Alexander Wang, Helmut Lang, and Phillip Lim, then this book is perfect for your style :) As for construction, I would say
most designs are of moderate difficulty. Theres nothing objectively complicated about any of the steps, but you should probably be comfortable
with working with soft, drapey fabrics, which have to be handled delicately to not get warped during construction. Most of the designs use large
pattern pieces (some of the dresses are constructed using a single continuous piece) which tend to be more of a hassle to cut out of the soft
stretchy materials that are required for these designs.An important point to know before buying this book is that all the pattern pieces are printed
on 2 sheets (4-sides) of poster paper (included in a plastic envelope inside the back cover). The pattern pieces overlap with each other to fit in this
space, and the larger pieces are broken up into subsections. You must first trace out the pattern pieces on another sheet of paper (and join
together the subsections of the large pieces) before you can cut them out to place your patterns on the fabric. This means that you will need to have
access to rolls of tracing paper (or Swedish Tracing Paper). I suppose you can use a tracing wheel and transfer paper to transfer directly to fabric,
but that sounds like more effort than just using tracing paper. Anyway, be aware that there will be an extra step in making the patterns, which
American home sewers may not be used to. This system is pretty typical of Japanese sewing books, so its something to keep in mind if you find
yourself interested in other books of this type. What this book does differently from other Japanese sewing books is that the patterns include seam
allowances, and the sewing lines are shown in addition to the cutting lines. Most Japanese sewing books dont include seam allowances, as it seems
more common to trace the sewing lines onto the fabric, and then add the seam allowances just before cutting (or to use a double pencil). Whether
you like having the seam allowances included will probably depend on your personal system, but at least the sewing lines are there too, so if you
really hate pattern pieces with seam allowances, you can just trace out the sewing lines instead.One notable difference between the English and
Japanese editions of this book is the organization of the content. The original Japanese edition had the fashion shots all in the front of the book, with
a caption telling you the page number of the corresponding instructions, which were all grouped together in the second part. The English edition
rearranged everything so that the fashion shots are immediately followed by the corresponding instructions. I personally prefer the Japanese
organization style, because its easy to quickly flip through all the designs. The English organization makes it harder for me to flip through and
brainstorm, but this may not bother everyone as much as it irks me.The biggest objective shortcoming of the English edition is that the instructions
feel like they were translated by someone who is not familiar with the typical English sewing instruction style, making them not always helpful. For
example, what is commonly referred to as the right side of the fabric is here translated as upside, which always throws me a bit. The whole book is
filled with awkwardly phrased instructions that will take some effort to understand for someone who is used to reading instructions written in the
American pattern-making market (e.g. Vogue, Simplicity, etc). The necessary information is present, but the unconventional wording is rather
disorienting, and I personally found it better to just ignore them and look at the diagrams, just as I did with the Japanese edition.This brings us to
the subject of diagrams. I love the diagrams in this book; they are so clear and informative. For the sake of space, there are no diagrams for steps
that involve sewing a simple seam. Anything more complicated than that is illustrated in a concise manner which I find really helps me to visualize
and understand the process. There are also technical drawings of the finished garment and all the pattern pieces, annotated with numbers
corresponding to the step in the instruction. Thus, you can see which part of the garment is being constructed in each step, as well as which part of
each piece is being sewn. The quality of the instructional diagrams in Japanese sewing books are very high, which is the main reason behind their
popularity around the world. As long as you have rudimentary sewing experience, the diagrams alone are sufficient to convey the information you
need to assemble the garment, so you dont have to be able to read Japanese to use these books. Thus, the quality of the diagrams makes up for
the short-comings of the translation.To sum up, I think that Drape Drape is an amazing book that has incredible designs and high quality patterns.
But certain aspects of this book (narrow focus on a particular style, size range, having to trace patterns, etc) might turn some people off. If you are
unsure whether you will want to wear the designs in the book, there are some sewing blogs and a couple etsy stores that have pictures of the
designs which can help you decide. The underwhelming quality of the translation means you should have enough sewing experience to not need
hand-holding, because the written instructions probably wont be clear enough for a first-time sewer. Ive rated this book 5 stars based on the
quality of the raw content, despite the disservice of the mediocre translation. If you feel that having poorly-translated instructions is better than not
being able to read the instructions at all, then this edition is probably the one for you. If you feel comfortable with being able to deduce the
instructions based on detailed technical diagrams, then I would recommend getting the Japanese edition for the better layout. And of course, if you
are able to read Japanese, then I would recommend the Japanese edition hands-down :)Also, check out the other two volumes in this series,
Drape Drape 2 and 3. I own the third volume in Japanese and its filled with designs just as amazing and stylish as this one :) Happy sewing!
