OFW : Dress Draft Preview

This is a totally self-explanatory and photo-heavy post but I like to be thourough.


What we have here, is a failure to comm... I mean, is a dress form "pinned" and "framed" for the bodice pattern. It is a simple sweetheart neckline bodice and I fidjeted with it for around an hour. Stopping, then coming back to make it even and make it pretty. I used hot pink yarn to make it pretty, too!
The next step is to measure each of the yarn "lines" and draw them onto a huge roll of Kraft paper and make the pattern on that. I think I need to buy/find a french curve ruler and a yardstick to find the contours of the pieces so they fit to the body.
Definitely a yardstick.
Then this makes your pattern pieces, you cut them out and get bus-ay sewing.
This is essentially THE pattern until I get said roll of Kraft paper. Then the skirt I am making a 4-panel wonder with a petal front opening. Should be simple enough for me to figure out: bodice with gathered 4-panel skirt.
Quote me... I say this now.

I'll update next time I work on it again!
