Toile 1- Tennis Dress
So the tennis dress hasn't gone to what I expected from it. However, this could be down to the choice of fabric being too light, and a lack of understand of how to construct it. This means I'll have to practice this one the most but I want this idea to be fully developed out and if it takes longer it'll be worth it.
I used a woven skirt block which maybe why its so baggy and I need to make the waistband tighter due to it have the elastic in. For the top, I kind of created it myself and it was very successful, as the sleeve fit well and the one piece pattern cutting looked interesting but comfortable. The neck line is something that needs to be worked out or constructed to keep both sides together somehow.
What needs changing:
- Reduce the length of the skirt
- More of a curved side on the skirt side
seam
- Reduce the size of the skirt around the waist
- Practise how to do a waistband
- Figure out the neck line and how to attach the two sides of the jumper together
- Reduce the sleeve length
