Body Form Tape?
Okay I was just watching Project Runway and someone was designing a dress and on the body form, there was like green tape outlining the shape of the patterns.
And on Project Catwalk (UK version) there was a black and white checkered tape on the body form?
Is this to outline the shape of the patterns you need/structure of the dress? And is there a specific name for the tape?

It's called twill tape. The checkered and green stuff are needlessly fancy, normally it just comes in black or white.
As for it being the outline, the answer is yes-ish. Twill tape is using to help build drapped patterns, but it really just helps to define lines. Making the actual pattern can be, and normally is, more complicated then simply following your twill tape lines.
