Capable of being draped; hanging in graceful folds without breaking or creasing awkwardly.
From 'drape' (Old French 'drap') plus English suffix '-able' meaning 'capable of.' The root ultimately traces to Latin 'drappus' for cloth.
The most drapable fabrics—like silk and linen—became status symbols in ancient Rome because they required expensive treatment and revealed the wearer's wealth through how beautifully they hung.
