A small introduction into Transformation and Reconstruction pattern making (also known as TR pattern making).
Shingo Sato is a Japanese pattern maker that introduced TR pattern making. His concept is to diminish darts on garments by adding seams. There is a lot to what he teaches. Draping is a technique used within his pattern making method. If you type his name in on Pinterest, you'll find lots. Here's a board filled with his work.
The design I'm focusing on in this post is called the Vortex.
Funny how this Marchesa dress was one of my main inspirations for a project I did to get into my fashion program.

Some of the links lead to blogs of people who have played with more than just one of Shingo's designs. So interesting to look at!
A slideshow of some of the Vortex designs Shingo's students from all over the world have created.
Here's a speedy walk through of how the vortex design is draped and attached into a different piece. Done by the master himself! These two videos are taken from trpattern which is the official YouTube account.
Finally, this is a video I would definitely follow along if I were to try out this design. It goes through the entire process. No words, just a visual tool.
