Satin and velvet gown how go from draping to sewing

Hello,

I have been draping and tweaking this for weeks.  It is the skirt overlay for a satin dress.

My question is; having got to this stage how do I remove it from the dressform without it all falling apart.  I think i need to tack it all to a piece of gross grain ribon perhaps?


There's no workman, whatsoever he be, That may both work well and hastily

If the skirt is all hanging from the waist it will need grosgrain ribbon inside or a waistband to hold it together in wear.  I think I would securely tack ribbon to the outside to get it off the dress form.

It looks lovely - is it for a special Christmas event?

That looks lovely GG. I agree with BrendaP.  I assume you have an opening planned somewhere?? :)

Delicious!  No clue [I don't do draping] but the ribbon suggestion sounds the way to go
