Pinning is a process which pulls the folds of the fabric together to create the draping design on the body form.
Pinning will give you a good visualization of how the garment will look after completion. Simultaneously, use pencil
to draw armhole, side seam, waist seam, neckline, darts etc., it will be useful for tracing into the drafting paper.

Once it is finished with draping and pinning on the body form, the next step is to baste the fabric. In this step, either
sew the fabric to the foundation piece or sew the fabric itself to complete the draping process.
