On Friday I continued with my Huntsman Dress Toile.
The first thing that I did was to cut down the arm hole to the new line and then trace this new line onto my patterns.
Another amendment that I made to my patterns was to add the seam allowance to the CB seam as I had made this cut on the fold where the zip needed to be.
I then changed to a size 12 mannequin as the fit of the dress was better at the bottom, I then fitted the side seam of the dress and traced this onto my patterns.
The new line was really nice and I am really pleased with the fit of the dress.
Next I decided that instead of just facing my dress I wanted to fully line it. So I created my facing and lining patterns.
As I had decided that I wasn't including the side pieces I felt that the dress needed something to make it more interesting and to decorate it; so I decided to create a feature on the shoulder using chains.
After experimenting and building up the chains I was able to create an effect that I was happy with so I started to join them together using jump rings.
I am really pleased with this new feature and I think that it works better than the side inserts did.
