To start my day I cut out the dress pieces in calico and made up the toile. It went together quickly but the side seams were quite difficult to press flat because of the curving hips. I could tell it was going to be baggier than I wanted so I put it on a stand and began fitting.
I would normally have asked for help but I want to push myself with this project so I gave it a go by myself. Jill helped me take out some excess fabric at the bust which I have made into a dart on the toile but on the pattern I will simply add it into the centre panel seam.
To make the fit of the dress correspond with the skirt, I have traced off the bottom part of the dress and will use this to construct the skirt from. This will also save me some time as I won’t have to fit and alter the skirt.
