Can anyone recommend set of books for studying drapery, clothing and fashion? I am going to a point where I do not know how to proceed clothing my figures and most of the books I have gives me unanswered questions about folds, mainly the forms of zigzag folds, where folds tend to form, how to effectively render folds without losing the primary form, bulky clothing, and how can anatomy and drapery come together. Thanks

You could always just make up your own set ups. Use different fabrics of different thicknesses, drape stuff, fold them yourself, point some lamps at it to get some nice shadows and draw and practice.

Although that helped, I still run to the problem of doing drapery to complement the human figure. Setting up a fold on the ground can help me identify simple shapes, but it ends up a bit stiff and almost gestureless, which isnt ideal when draping the figure.

Most of the questions I do have right now probably relates more on the draped figure than the drapery itself. Its probably something I still have to answer myself...

I'm surprised no one has recommended this masterpiece yet.
