Final couple of sketches & moulange

Here it is in situ, I think it makes quite a nice shape, skimming

around to the back.

Shaping the pattern piece for the back of the garment.

Here are the two front pieces, that overlap nicely

to make a mock wrap front.

Satisfied with the right front piece, I have taken it off the model

to trace the shape, and reproduce it to make the left front.

The style lines drawn onto the calico, a seam allowance

of 1.5cm is added, the surplus fabric is cut away.

Initial moulange on the tailors dummy; the construction

of the toile was somewhat determined by the model I used,

with few obvious construction lines to follow I decided to

place some darts to form the shaping around the bust,

rather than making a seam.

I have drawn on the calico to establish the shape of the

garment that I envisaged.

After much deliberation and procrastination,

I have finally decided to go with the above. A 

separate skirt with waistband will eliminate the

problem of having a pocket with a dart going

through it. One can also attach more panels

to the waistband, overlapping the pieces or taking

them around the back of the garment.
