Draping dress progress!
Next step for me was to cut out the real pieces in calico and pin together..
After i pinned this i sewed it together and checked it against the dolly..
Then i sewed on the top to check it worked together i also drew on the front to show the centre front.
Once i was happy with this i continued on and started looking at the top of the back, when looking into the design of the back i needed to change the top again!
Then i made a pattern on the stand for the back of the dress, which meant i then had all my pieces!
Now for my project i needed to make 2 garments so im not going to lie i wanted to do something simpler in case time ran out as the dress was taking longer than expected so i drafted a pattern for a cape and cut it out so it would stand slightly proud over the shoulder to neck area which is seen in the picture.
Im very happy with how it came out and i am hoping to have a button done in the middle of the cape.
