Creating My Toile

I created my toile using the basic pattern block and extended the skirt so it measures down to the ankle. When  got all the darts and seams sewn up I left the side open for the zip. I then began to alter it so the shoulders had more shape to them i done this by cutting off a strip of material and then taking it off my paper pattern. I pinched it in more on the back waistline and front bust line. Once all this was done i began to design the bustle by using tape to mark out where i want it to be before separating the skirt into panels.
