Crossword-Solution: MOULAGE 7 letters, 5 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 10

When the theory of drafting has been learned, and the shapes and proportions of a pattern and its derivatives are understood, "moulage" or modelling on the figure in muslin, should be attempted; though, be it remembered, "moulage" should not be regarded as a substitute for drafting, but as its necessary accompaniment, for it affords opportunity for eye training, and for learning how and where at certain points the material should be stretched or held easily on the figure.

When these modifications are clearly understood, the proving of the flat pattern on the table after drafting should produce a well-shaped and correct lining, without the misery of standing for hours in the ordinary way to be "fitted on." If finer touches are needed, they are of the nature of "moulage," or modelling; the different parts of the pattern retain their balance and relative proportions, and the length of the operation is much shortened.
