Week 2!

This week i pulled out all the stops after last week's disaster.. I wanted to show i can sew because last week's garment didn't show my skills.
This week i made a dress.
I made the pattern myself and thought the pattern was too plain so i added a technique.
I made a corset pattern then added a skirt block separate.
 


Next time i would do the hem. I didn't do this time because i thought it would look too formal so i wanted to have a rough edge on it.
Making it wasn't difficult. I done the smocking technique then cut the pattern out.












The fabric was sourced in Goldhawk Road in west London. And it was £7pm and i bought 2 meters. and i used 1.5 meters. i loved the fabric, it was a silk mixed with suede on the other side, i had loads of ideas on what to do straight away.
Nothing really went wrong while making it, except for the zip, it wasn't the worst but it wasnt the best but it stressed out went i put it on the mannequin.
And i i personally think it's fashionable i was going to wear it to the Brit Awards  but didn't have enough time to make it smaller.
As a garment i was happy with the results and was a proud of my work.
