Making My Dress (part 2)

A problem occured with the neckline being too small so we had to let it out and add a button fasten detail to the left shoulder.

I choose to make blue buttons to match the bustle and belt.

I covered a belt with the blue satin fabric and rouched it up for the back effect. However the front didnt look as good so some alterations were made.

Making My Dress (part 1)

I began to cut the duchess satin pieces out first.

I sewn the back first to get the bustle to fit into the back seams proved quite difficult as I wanted it to be quite full volumed.

The collar was very easy to construct just like the bustle. I used the same collar stand pattern off my lolita dress so I knew it was going to fit.
