Italian term

linee panneggiate

Italian to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
Elaborazione tessile maniacale nella sua perfezione, linee panneggiate, dolcemente, o tracciate come segmenti su un piano, con un senso delle proporzioni artistico.

I understand that it means drapery but I'm not sure how to put it in English.

Thanks for any help.

What misleads me in "your" phrase, is the use of the adverb "dolcemente" instead of "dolci". I would be inclined to say that there is a punctuation error. "linee panneggiate dolcemente", that comma between "panneggiate" and "dolcemente" perhaps is not too proper.

Take a look at the second entry (definition) for "draped" here, maybe there's a synonym;

I'm sending you this link where they do use "draped lines" for fashion, if I'm not mistaken;

Thanks for your help I can't find much in the way of references to drped lines or draped in lines in relation to fashion though. I was hoping that someone might know an equivalent term.
Patricia González Schütz Dec 20, 2012:
My second link is not correct; "draped in lines" might do. Take a look:

gently draped

I would say 'dolcemente' refers to the way the fabric is draped.

artfully draped in gentle flowing lines

I'd rephrase this and change the "artistico" to "artful" (with last bit
"con un senso delle proporzioni artistico" as "with a wonderful sense of proportion").
