The Koester school book of drapes; a complete text book and course of instruction in merchandise draping. about 1 inch and fasten with one pin to the extremeedge of the front of the stand (point D, Fig. 3). 43 Lessons in Draping The material now extends in four directions from the stand and the next step is toform the folds of the sweeps. Begin with the back sweep on the left hand side. The goodsat the end of the sweep are held loosely in the left hand, and the front selvage is turnedunder with the right hand. Then swing the left hand back and fortli, forming three foldsor pleats, as was described in Drape 1. The lower pleats extend about 1 inch in front ofthose above. These folds are very easily formed. The two top folds start from the cornerof the top of the stand. The lower fold starts at the middle of the side of the stand as in-dicated in Fig. 2. The selvage of the upper fold is turned under about 5 inches, makingwhat may be termed a box pleat, which is 10 inches wide at the broadest point where itreaches the floor, at point B, Fig. 2. In making the rear sweeps of this drape, do not. Drape 2 stretch the goods or pull the end out too far from the stand. It should be allowed tofall in a graceful curve, as shown in Fig. 2. When the folds of the left hand rear sweephave been completed, those of the right hand rear sweep are formed in the same mannerexcept that the position of the hands is reversed. To form the two forward sweeps, bring the goods straight down to the floor in themiddle and turn under the selvage. Then start the folds of the sweep on the right handside. Turn under the front selvage and form the folds by swinging the goods in the righthand. The selvage of the upper fold is turned under 5 inches to form a box pleat, andthe ends of all the pleats are folded under, as shown in the drawing. The upper pleatis 12 inches broad at its widest part. The front sweep on the left side is made in exactlythe same manner as the one just described except, of course,
