Week Seven - Ophelia

At week seven, I am still working away at the mockup for my second ensemble. After reviewing my mockup in class on Tuesday, I changed the shape around the straps and neckline of my bodysuit pattern. I made a new mockup and fit it on the form today. I just need to make a few adjustments to the pattern and add seam allowance at the neck, sleeves, and back before I start constructing with my real fabric. I want to raise the neckline so it isn't so dramatically low and add more width to the sleeves. In order to stabilize the dramatic swoop in the back, I plan on sandwiching a ribbon between my bodysuit and its lining to hold everything together in the back. I'm also going to test the elastic gathering on the skirt before I use my real fabric. I'm also adding pictures of my final first ensemble to this post because I realized I never posted them here.
