Pattern for actual garments

(Blouse and skirt)

Blouse pattern

I made a basic bodice wich I drew on and cut the arm to expereiment with it....

I decided I wanted no darts since I was using drapery...so I folded these and drew a new pattern...and since my design was asymmetric I made my pattern double sided..

By cutting my basic bod-ice and playing with it I came up with an arm pat-tern and removed some shoulder piece and added to my arm...

I slit the bodice to add volume for my dra-pery...that I had toilled

I retraced my new pattern which i then used to make my first toille....

I made my toille out of tulle fabric....

I adjusted and tweeked my toille untill it was how I wanted it to look I hand stiched some sec-tions and machine sewed others....

Skirt pattern

Bag for loops and buttons to folde 1cm inwards...5cm w and 15 cm l x2

Belt...70cm l and 10 cm w cut into 2 seperate pieces..

Making of actual gar-ments...

(Blouse and Skirt)

Blouse

I handstiched some pleates to hold in place....and to craete the sweetheart bust shape

I then used the sewing machine to sew pleates in rows.... Back....

Front.... I then stiched the arm side and arm togather....

Through a gap I tied a know so the arm and neck piece looked continious....

I han stiched the knot....and the flower on the back

I then over locked the whole bodice..and sleave...

I Baged these out and the folded inwards and ironed the sewed and top stiched...and added the loops

I Binded to make the edges look neater however I left most of the edges natrual...

Buttons, loops being sewn ontop of the binding and top stiched down...

Skirt

I made loops which I placed inside teh waistband with had edges folded and sewn...

I added plastic boning and folded and sewed the edges.. Again I baged out the but-

ton base and folded and ironed the loop bag...

I stiched these in place...and made one lage loop which i cut into smaller lopps and placed in the bag...

I handstiched the Buttons, using a small circle tem-plate I cut out silk which went over the buttons...

I then added a larger loop which held the buttons and back boning togather...

I handstiched sThe loops and made some into flowers and also aded seperate flow-ers made from loops...

I handstiched the endes onto the base of the crino-line....

The boning was 2 meters and 20 cm and I put it into the loop and the over lapped it 10 cm and sewed the edges by hand to secure and foldsed one boning over it to neat-en...

I decided to add bows along the back which I baged out and overall I decided to keep within the indulgence theme but not too over the top...I kept it quite minimal...
