Couture Sewing Tutorial: How to line and finish a Draped Skirt

In this couture draping tutorial, I’m walking you through the final finishing stages of a couture draped skirt that I originally taught during a live multi-day draping class.

In this video, you’ll learn how to:
• Attach and cleanly install the lining on a couture draped skirt
• Add and sew in a zipper properly for a polished finish
• Hem a couture skirt with hand-sewn techniques
• Finish and secure draped details so the skirt holds its shape
• Add a godet at the back for movement, drama, and balance

This tutorial focuses on professional finishing details that elevate a draped garment from “nice” to couture-level craftsmanship.
