A dress of words

I'm actually doing an illustration in this sort of style at the moment.

I use the slow and painful way I'm afraid! But I'm a control freak, I position the text to get the effect I want. On a pretty simple illustration like you sample, it shouldn't take too long.

I use ilustrator, working with vectored text. I type the words I need, either on a shaped path or in straight lines or warped etc, then outline them and they are easy to position and work with.
 
You can make words flow on a (pen tool) path...

But I would just make a big block of text and try warping it. Or using different distort filters on small patches of text to create a sense of depth.

Only way I would do it I am afraid. Other people may have a solution, if so I would love to hear it too.
