Don’t draw little curves at the hemline of a dress and expect them to look like folds. Choose a few key folds and follow their form from where they begin down to the hemline for good fashion results. Graceful folds in soft or light fabrics originate from a focal point like a bodice, a sleeve, or the back of the dress and follow the line of your fashion figure.
Here’s how to draw your fashion figure in a dream of a dress with a two-tiered floating skirt featuring loads of folds:-
Lightly sketch a fashion figure of a woman wearing an asymmetrical hem dress.
-
Draw a few lines around the neckline in curved shapes crossing over and underneath each other.
-
Draw two rows of curved lines for the hem. At the bend of each curve, draw a line going up to show the folds of the fabric.
Give the fold lines a little bit of curve to convey the skirt’s movement.
-
Soft and light woven fabrics can hug the body, but they often swirl and float away from the body when a fashion model is in motion.
-
Lightweight knits hang in soft folds while also fitting around the body horizontally in small, snug folds.
-
Stiff, heavyweight fabrics such as denim hang with large, rigid curves.
-
Stiff, lightweight fabrics such as polyester or silk tafetta can fold with sharp angles and tend to take on a shape of their own, with somewhat soft folds and other sharp folds.
