Pinned up dress

Ive only pinned it together at the moment, but you can see the way it will look when its sewn together. I am pleased with the outcome and am excited to sew it all together. After pinning it on to the mannequin today, I was then able to over-lock the edges to ensure no further fraying occurred on this fabric. After it had been washed the fabric unfortunately shrank and frayed.
I still have to decide where I want the pleats and how the dress will fall, I know that I want structured pleats as a pose to gathering as this adds the much needed masculinity to the garment.
