Garment Construction

I put the front of my dress together and found that with the new panels  and the changed patterns it had all fitted well.

Toile Progress Presentation

A few things which needed to be changed with my toile dress. The pencil lines are where the panels have now been changed. the changed made  were:

1. Remove the waist seam
2. Make the cutting lines flow through to the S.S and follow through on to the back
3. Panels need to change as the seam in the waist has been removed
4. Get rid of the C.F seam and make new panels on the front
5. Shorten the sleeves

Toiles

From my chosen designs I started to make up my toile in calico. Below is a skirt (front & back), top (front, side & back) and dress (front, side & back). On each toile has cutting lines. The skirt has wading each 2 panels on front & back.

Draping on the stand

I have taken my initial design ideas to work on silhouette from my collection. I chose to drape on the stand as it is the best way to achieve my shapes.

Developed Design Ideas

Here I took my favourite design ideas to develop them further. The first design has been developed further to come up with more interesting design ideas.

Design Development

Here I have taken initial ideas and have developed them further.

From an image found through research I developed ideas using the one image to come up with tops and skirts.
