Trial and error is the theme of the week. Over spring break I wanted to work on my second ensemble which is the leather girdle/corset and the blue satin v-neck, trumpet dress. As I started to work, I kept running into problems. My biggest problem that I ran into was the gathering I planned for the bust of the dress. Because my blue satin is so thick, when I tried to gather/pleat it in multiple different ways, it just did not sit right (pictured above). My solution to this problem is to make pin tuck pleats (pictured above) on the fabric first, and then cut out my pattern. I am actually really happy with the pin tuck pleat look. It adds a clean line and frames the face and neck of my model very well.
I also cut and sewed most of my girdle corset, but I have to make adjustments and make it smaller after today’s fitting.
The fitting went well today- only small adjustments at the side seams and additional material needs to be added to the center back. I am very excited to see this finished product!
