During my time at FIT, I came to realize a love of draping. Often times, I found when limiting myself by using a single square piece of fabric with minimal or no cutting during the draping process, to achieve a more unique design or interesting cut. Almost none of the above dresses are finished garments but simply pinned together exercises so please excuse the visible construction efforts. However, it was through this type of free form draping exercise that I discovered a talent for quickly coming up with new design ideas. Most of these dresses were draped in under 15 minutes, and I think they show a certain design aesthetic that came to be known amongst my peers and professors as a "Caitlyn Dress."
