I've been working on the pattern for the wedding dress making an evening dress with the same pattern, just to see how it works. Wearing the dress gave me ideas of changes I need to make on the pattern.
First I made a dress in sheets making adjustments to fit. Then I cut the sheet dress in the seams to use it as a pattern when I cut the fabric.
I finished the dress with an edge of blach velvet and a thin black ribbon belt. I used it for Christmas lunch at work and realized I had to fasten the lining in the fabric since it tended to drag the zipper top into my back. Not very comfy. After wearing it on my birthday a realized that I have to make the top edge a bit tighter to prevent the dress to slide down after a days wear and maybe shorten the waist section. Only a centimeter sliding down will otherwise make not so pretty folds around the waist.
Thanks to C for lending me her fitting doll!!!! It makes my work so much easier.
