Dress 4.
This Design was different from the others. It was an illistration rather then a line drawing design i was quite looking foward to this as the view of the dress was limited and it left me with some design interpretation to play arround with.
that matched the front well.
The underware is the same that i used for dress number two i think it was prehaps a mistake to use this bussel as i beleive it needed to smaller the shape of the skirt is too bell like and not as fitted arround the waist as i wanted it.
The Final dress.
This design i found properbly the most interesting there were lots of different lines and angles to explore and i could work on back design myself. To start with i made up some of the skirt layers just so i could work out the size of the skirt.
I then moved onto the jacket i started off by making the front pannels of a bodice using darts to create the fitted front. I then built the jacket up arround the boddice pannels working from the front to the back. Athough this was only a toil from studying the design i notice how the dress seemed to made up of two colours or shades and the change from one colour to the nexthad a rather striking effect. The contrast from light and dark seemed to work well so i decided to make my dress out of two colours a cream and a navey blue. I switched from on colour to the next depending on the design. The jacket wasn't two much of a hassel i did stuggeled to create a real waist define and think that prehaps it could have done with a few more pleats to bring the wist in. This was rather awquard though as i didn't want to muck up the shapes of the dress. I definetly think i need to work a bit more on where to place darts. As i donn't always feel comfortable with there positiioning,
I much prefered these sleeve toi the sleeves of dress number three. Th more fitted sleeve is easier to do and empnasises the siluete better.I fitted the sleeves quite easily put thing i was a bit out on my placement of them as they don't seem to sit right on the manquine.
After the jacket was complete i went back to the sirt snd msde a badic shape of a skirt in the edwardian shape style and then added the different layers on top of it.
There was yet motre pleatingg in this dress but i got to play arrounf with the pleating a bit using horixzontal and diagonal lines.
Over all i am please with the end product is far from perfect but i feel I struggeledth least with this dress and really took the inituative and got on with it quicker and alot better then the other three dresses.
