This i made another dress and someone else picked the fabric.
The fabric was sourced in Whitechapel and is a satin.
And was £2.80 a Meter. and i used 1 meter out of 2meters.
This dress i made a strapless pattern for it.
This is before i put the zip in.
I was happy with the dress at the stage because it looked quite fashionable.
But when i was sewing it the fabric was pulling.
Personally the colour is not something i would pick personally.
The fabric was irritating because it was slippery and the seams weren't very neat.
When i came to pressing it. The fabric was not doing what i wanted it to do. I tried low heat and high heat and the high heat almost burnt it.
and the fabric just kept pulling so i started pulling the rest of it to create the crinkle look.
that was one of the things that went wrong.
Even the hem was pulling so i was getting aggravated with the garment.
The shape of the dress didn't come out bad the seams matched up.
The zip was the easiest. It improved over the few weeks.
