Bustle and Collar

Next I began to create my bustle.

I learnt to do it in layers and fold over the fabric to give it more fullness. I done a miniture mannequin size one before creating a pattern from the back panel on my dress. On my minature I didnt join the seams from the one position on the top but I knew to do this on my final one. This is shown on the toile piece.

The collar was very similar. I used the same technique just different sizes to the bustle to fit on the front chest area.

I done this by also altering the pattern.

After creating this I realised that it was very mishapen and curved it off on my pattern for my final piece.
