PROCESS
- I started by drafting the patterns, for the upper side of the front and back making use of a princess bustier pattern, using the lace fabric and satin as it's base, I joined the piece together, then turned it with the lining fabric.
Bustier patterns gives the bust area a well contoured look.
- I also drafted the down part of the gown, using a straight skirt pattern, also using the lace fabric and the satin as base.
- I joined the upper side of the front to the down part, and also did same to the bpiecesI attached the zipper to the back to join the two back piece together.
- Next, I joined the front and back together
- Now, making my sleeve pattern, which is an exaggerated sleeve with band
