Okay enough of my rants...I will show you instead pieces of my new madness. Forgive the fabric and cutting it's just the first muslin draft so it will look a little questionable.
The back of the dress has been driving me crazy! I don't know if it's the material or how I drafted it but it proves to be very difficult. Every time I try it on the back seems to gather around my neck and bunches up at my upper back. I am not sure how to correct it but I will be making the second muslin and hopefully by manipulating the darts I will have better results. I am hoping it just lays flat on me.
The pleats on the bodice isn't precise and that's what I loved about the dress. There were no pleats but free forming ripple effect on the bodice. At least that's what I assumed. But I don't think I can do it . The material is hard to manipulate as is so I am forced to have to make it more structured. I wonder if I use a different material will I have better results.
Anyway this is part 1 of my journey hopefully I will have good news the second time around.
As always have a great day/night (depending when you are reading this.)
A.S.
