Prototypes on Prototypes

A major lesson that I will take away from going to fashion school -- nothing will EVER go as planned. Sure, you can have a plan, but something will always come up and make your plan more difficult. 
For the second look of my collection, I am making a fitted bandeau top and a pair of pants with a peplum ruffle detail. Both of these pieces are being made from a woven fabric. Lets just say... it's been a minute since I've made something that's fitted out of a woven fabric, and it has sure been a fun adventure. 
I just finished constructing prototype 2.5 of this look and I now think I have finally achieved the look I had planned!
Even though this look has been a challenge for me to create, I am glad I decided to do it since it has given me a chance to brush up on some skills I've forgotten about.
Next week will be a true test to see if my hard work pays off as I create ensemble two in the final fabric!
