I approached the preliminaries for the fitted dress with some trepidation. A dress with this much structure is going to have to really fit! So I took my measurements (no cheating!). I had thought the worst and expected best fit would be a 14 but discovered it was 12. Nice surprise.
So I cut out the muslin leaving plenty of space around each piece. I'm sure my singer's diaphragm won't fit. I enjoyed the process of placing each piece and using the tracing paper and wheel to mark the pieces and any other details. Once again, I have to say make sure you check out other classmates' questions. I had a few 'ummmmm' moments that was able to work through using answers provided by Gertie and other fab classmates.
More precision work sewing the outlines of each piece. I am really enjoying this! I can see how it is all going to fit together and how adjustments will be able to be made without loosing precious pattern detail (it's stitched on!). Photos coming!
