I have started to construct my cream dress. This involved sewing all the front and back panels together and neatening the armholes with binding. Unfortunately there was none of the digitally printed fabric left to bind the armholes which was not ideal. I have improvised by using plain calico to tie the top with the bottom of the garment. The fabric isn't as flexible as I wished for garment creation, but hadnt realised this before the beginning of construction, this was an error on my part and ideally I would have used thinner calico. I have to organise the positions of the pleats yet which is proving a challenge, but they are a crucial part of the shape of the dress and how it falls, so I want to take time and care over them to make sure they are exactly right.
The collar has has interfacing placed on the back so that it keeps its upright position and stays shaped. This is an important step to keep the shape of the dress. The pattern contains brief instruction, but I have figured out most of the pattern myself as I have adapted it to fit my needs, and this slightly alters the instructions. I am sure that this will be finished by the end of the day.
