DRAPE LIKE THEY DO IN PARIS.

This is the training most people never get .

Couture Draping Course is for fashion students, pattern cutters, and pros ready to level up. If your uni skipped it, if your boss never showed you, if you’ve been faking your way through fit…

This is your fix.

Couture drape detail – experimental cutting technique in 3D on the stand

You weren’t taught this. But you should’ve been.


Fashion schools focus on concepts and drawing. Drafting books confuse more than they teach.

Most “pattern cutting” courses throw you into the deep end — and leave you swimming in paper.

But draping is different.

Draping is problem-solving with your hands. It’s fit in 3D. It’s design that actually works.

It’s what the best studios expect you to know — but rarely explain.

taking drape to a flat pattern- Couture draping method to accurate pattern

Already know how to draft — but feel blocked creatively?


You’ve got the logic. You know the rules.

But when a designer asks you to drape it— do you freeze?

This course helps you become the cutter every designer wants: the one who gets it.

No more flat pattern guess work. Learn to sculpt, shape, and respond in real time — the way couture actually works.

Not a ‘beginner creative pattern cutting’ course.


No dusty drafting grids. No guesswork. No “just trace it” templates.

This is fabric-forward, fit-focused training taught by someone who lived it.

From red carpets to couture runways — I’ve cut for it all.

What Others Say...

“Arena is an incredible mentor and teacher. Her passion for preserving the craft of pattern cutting is infectious, and she has a rare talent for making complex techniques feel accessible and clear. I had the privilege of working with her early in my career, and I learned so much — not just technically, but in confidence too. Her guidance played a huge role in shaping my path in the fashion industry.”

Former colleague and mentee

“Arena is incredibly knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher. She guided me through the full process of drafting a corset from scratch — from marking directly on the mannequin to translating it into paper patterns. Her teaching style is clear, hands-on, and genuinely inspiring. I would absolutely recommend learning from her — she brings both skill and clarity to every step.”

— Lisa

Former mentee

“Working with Arena has been a pleasure. Her ability to create directly on the stand is a rare skill — precise, intuitive, and deeply valuable. Draping like this is becoming a lost art, and Arena is one of the few keeping it alive.”
